After setting the Spring Goals that I shared in last week’s post, I’m setting my week up to be more productive with a to-do list. I like a list to remind me of both what I need to do + what I want to do. Last year I was good about jotting everything down in the notes app on my phone but somehow I got out of the habit during the holidays. It’s time to finally get back to it + start getting sh*t done!
+ I choose my top non-work related goals or tasks for the week, typically no more than 5-10. I’ve found the more manageable + less overwhelming the list (aka, not putting TOO many things on it), the more likely it is that you’ll actually do what’s on it.
+ I make them as simple or as complex as I want! Sometimes I dread doing + put off even the easiest or most basic tasks. If it’s important to you + you want it done, write it down!
+ Checking off my progress. Whether you write it down or do it on your phone, check things off the list as you go. It feels great seeing your progress (and what you still need to get done) + it will motivate you to keep going.
+ I’m adding in a separate area for daily habits + intentions. These are things that I’m actively working on all the time or habits that I do (or try to do) every single day. Since they’re repetitive, I’m keeping them at the top as a constant reminder for throughout the week.
DAILY HABITS + INTENTIONS
+ Get 8 hours of sleep each night
+ Stay off of my phone immediately after waking up + during meals with friends and family
+ Take my vitamins
+ Walk 10K+ steps
+ Put up new blog posts (MWF)
+ Floss my teeth
+ Do the Wordle!
WEEKLY TO-DO LIST
+ Pay my car insurance
+ Wash my hair
+ Treat myself to a movie + lunch date
+ Finish my current book + start a new one
+ Make banana bread
+ Spend more time outside
+ Review my finances + quarterly goals
Outside of work, I don't have too many appointments or engagements happening. My main priority is to reset my schedule + find a better balance for my free time. I'm also hoping to be more mindful of healthy habits like getting more rest and eating well.
What's on your to-do list for this week?
