Focus and tasks
Focusing on what you can do makes more sense than being anxious about all you should be doing. It’s unreasonable to think you can do most of what you put on this todo list.
I know it’s not something we want to hear but it’s true: we overestimate what we can accomplish in a day and underestimate what we can do in a month or year.
I decided to first focus on what’s urgent for now until I get a better sense of my surroundings. Once I reduce this list a bit, I can move to other tasks. For example, if the fridge has some food about to turn bad, it’s best to clear this out and deal with it now than sweeping the floor.
We have to use common sense in order to make sure we do something that matters without feeling bad that we didn’t do everything.
When we can’t have fun doing a task, at least we should aim to find it meaningful because by completing it, we make our lives better.
Being overwhelmed by the weight of all those rocks we call tasks isn’t productive but if we break them down into pebbles, we can move them around. You got this!
