Why you NEED a F*kn TO DO LIST
ps THIS will be A game changer… IF YOU LET IT
Ever since I finally launched my blog I wanted to write a blog on how I actually got my ass in gear to do it.. while flying 120 plus hours.. and never really knowing what day it is.. weeks literally flying by, not to mention balancing the rest of my life, workouts, a relationship.. and to be honest in the current affairs of the world ..
this whole blog is exactly what you need. espeshhh since
now, no one knows what day it is..
As mentioned in previous blogs, post’s and stories.. I am a MEGA fan of TSC PODCAST. I just love it.. it keeps me company on my flights all over the world.. and when I commute for work instead of listening to music all the time, I tune in because I like to learn on the go..
TSC Podcast provides major value.. its a him/ her podcast and to me its the variety show of my dreams. HEALTH, SEX, SKIN, CELEBS, BLOGGERS, you name it they cover it.
So when Lauryn Evarts Bosstick the creator of The Skinny Confidential Blog did a solo cast on Productivity I was all ears.
She introduced me to THE IVY LEE METHOD. And honestly its how I finally got my blog up and running. It’s how I’ve stopped my head from exploding when I only have 12 hours at home with a to do list 5 miles long.
**And it is THE ONLY way I am feeling any sort of productive during my Quarantine**
So not to waste anymore time HERE IT IS:
My version and the Basics
Make 2 Lists. One PERSONAL, and One PROFESH.
Depending on the day and honestly how ambitious you are feeling.. you can list as little as 3 things on each list or up to 6.. but its important to not overwhelm yourself with these lists.. Also list each thing in order of importance.. Number 1 being the most important.
+ On your Personal List - think of things like working out, laundry, clearing off the clutter on your dresser, prepping your meal for the next day.. sincerely personal things that truly make your day better FOR YOU.
+ On the Profesh List - things like work schedule, like bidding for trips ( FAs ), emails that are a priority, or even just laying out your clothes for the next day.. for work, if you have your own business I’m sure there is a never ending list.. as depending on all work there is somethings we have to get done.. clearly that list looks different for everyone.
+ The thing is you don’t have to to get EVERY SINGLE THING done on that list.. HOWEVER..
it is important to completely finish one task before moving on to the other.
Doing just this simple thing.. FEELS SO GOOD! How ahhhhmazing do you feel when you cross something off your list?? We may only move the needle a little bit everyday but in a weeks time that lil needle can go pretty far. And sew a blanket.. if you will.. and I WILL.
When I set out to do Babe on a Mish.. I used so many excuses as to why I couldn’t just do it. Like so many.. I was judging myself mostly.. Nothing you do the first time is perfect or “the way” you envisioned it.. but that is the trick you gotta just do it. Another FAV Quote from TSC PODCAST “Launch and Adjust”.. and here I am. BABEONAMISH.com and still adjusting.
Creating these 2 separate list completely helped me organize my time. Usually I come in from a trip and I only have 12 hours before I am back out again.. having some mental and an actual physical list of TO-DOs helped me time manage almost like a pro.. I still throw it all to the leeward when there is a swell and the waves are pumping.. and well these days with the current trend of whats going on ( you know Corona ).. even more so a list can make you feel like your making the most of these days at home.
The bottom line? Do the most important thing first each day.
It's the only productivity trick you need.
