Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought :
I woke up this morning and my first thoughts went to how much I have left to do and how little time I have left to accomplish it all. I made up a to do list to get organized and felt more overwhelmed as I saw the enormity of it all in writing. Then I said to myself "STOP!" I took a deep breath, put on my solution cap and got a cup of coffee and paused for a moment. Then I got a blank piece of paper and wrote at the top Things Done List. Then I started my day. Everything that I did from making the bed, feeding the cats, putting clothes in the hamper, starting laundry, emptying the dishwasher, I put on my Done List.
My day had just started and I could see how much I had already accomplished and instead of feeling overwhelmed I felt energized and ready to accomplish more. I took a couple of things from my to do list, did those and added those to my Done List. Wow! Suddenly I felt like today was going to be a great day filled with lots of productivity and accomplishment!
So try some reverse thinking on yourself. Keep your to do list however make a separate Things Done List and add everything you do on it. No matter how small or insignificant it may seem when you look at it all together you will realize just how much you are really getting done!
Affirm:
Today I keep track of ALL the things I am accomplishing to motivate and inspire myself!
Have a Wonderfully Productive Weekend!
