Put long term goals in ListC (eg. paint the bedroom, refinish chairs, etc). Put everything else in Group B (pay waster bill, clean tub, write thank you, etc). Then use a a weekly planner for Group A. Move three tasks per day. Try figuring out your three tasks the night before. I do best if I find time to accomplish them first thing in the morning or set aside  time in afternoon to complete them. Pretty quickly you\u2019ll chip away at your List B and can move List C goals to List B.

A big part of tasks in general though is learning to be at peace with how much we can realistically accomplish rather than an amount we think we &quot;should&quot;. Another factor is being sure to eliminate distractions &#8211; try the Forest app, or FocusMe. Good luck!
