Lately, the “To-Do” list in my mind has been growing and growing. It’s been driving me nuts. I’m constantly thinking of doing the things I need to do:
- I need to get a package in the mail.
- I need to send out some payments.
- I need to shred some junk mail.
- I need to file the papers scattered in groups around our house.
- Etc, etc, etc.
I need to get these things done. Why? To calm my mind. While I’ve recently discovered a way that has been helping me to fall asleep at night (which I’ll share soon – it’s probably not what you’d expect), I still have this huge to-do list that is constantly running through my mind during the day.
There’s no reason why I can’t do these things. I can even enlist some help with doing most of it. But they are those tasks that linger around because you don’t really feel like doing them.
It causes stress, which isn’t good. I have to get them done. So, I’ve been working on them here and there. So far, I can already cross out the two easiest ones off of the list. The filing is also coming along.
It stinks sometimes to take the time to work on things that you may not necessarily like to do. But I already feel like some weight has been lifted from my shoulders because some items on my list are done and out of the way!
Nike sure was smart when they came up with the slogan, “Just do it.” 🙂
