This week I wanted to update on the number of things I've purged from my home in addition to a tool that I've been using to help me simplify how I go about my week.
Here's how I used to conquer my to-do list. I would sit down on the weekend usually Sunday and come up with a long and detailed list of everything I had to accomplish that week. I would even add those things that would be nice to do to the list, but not necessarily things that need to get done. This would result in a long, daunting list that there was no way I would get through every week. I was not simplifying life, but rather making things WAY more complicated for myself. I needed to do something, and fast.
I found this little beauty at Indigo that has really made life easier. I now have a to-do this that captures my entire list by week but also breaks it down day to day. I only put those things that I feel I can accomplish in each day (keeping in mind that I also have a full time job) and then I feel victorious 7 times each week as I complete each days activities and highlight them off.
I can take one day at a time and it FEELS GREAT!!!!!
Here's my copy of last weeks. I knew my schedule was a bit full so some days in addition to work there is only one extra chore. Take a look!
