Baby Steps

Today, Mama shares what you can do with that overwhelming to do list. I always get added to hers, so I'm not sure how they all work, but, check out the cool advice mama has to give: Sometimes making a to do list, or even looking over one doesn't motivate us much because we are looking at the "whole picture." I'm talking about those all cumbersome projects that keep getting put on the back burner; like cleaning out the closets, picking up in the garage, getting ready for a rummage sale, etc. Having those projects on top of your regular daily tasks can be overwhelming. Here's what you do... Block out 15 minutes each day and start on one project. Set a timer. Once those 15 minutes are up, you're done for the day. It's been my experience however, that once I start I'm so involved in what I'm doing that I'll easily use up 30 minutes or more, and my task is nearly done! Setting a goal of 10-15 minutes is a simple "baby step" to get yourself started. Sometimes, it's all you can spare in your day. So don't make it an overwhelming task just to get through your list. Be patient with yourself and your projects, and you'll have it all complete before you know it! Here's waggin' at ya!
