    List maker here. I list out a few priorities then later on I start filling in items I actually completed during the day. When I only had the high level to-do list, I would feel horrible if I didn't complete anything on that list. After a while of failed lists, I decided to see where my time and attention was actually going. Sometimes the items on the to-do list have numerous prerequisites that were previously unknown or the task title implies that everything be completed to count. Me seeing how I was making progress in the home was actually motivating and usually the task I procrastinated the most would still get done that day because I had enough momentum to push me through.

    This puts 'eat the frog' into a new perspective because red frogs are venomous!
    Also, I think Tamara Rosier and Sandra Boynton (the author of Blue Hat, Green Hat) should collaborate to make a helpful version of this for kids.

    I also use like a brain dump to do list. It ALL goes on the list. No organization to it! At the beginning of the week i pick items off the master list put on the weekly. Then based on what I have going on I will do my small sticky note to do list fo daily or on a daily planning sheet if a busy day. When a task is completed ✔️ the daily, weekly and highlight it on the master so i see its done. I just keep the master list going. Its a good visual to see things getting done! Now I may add the color coding you talk about to see if it will work together. Picking different colored things for weekly & daily!

    Hi Robin, I love your fresh perspective on 'imperfect minimalism'. I would love it if you elaborate someday on decluttering/simplifying things like tasks at home and at work, social obligations, schedules etc. So less on how to get everything done and more about choosing what to do. I often feel overwhelmed by everything that 'needs' to be done in my life.
    Keep it up!

    You nailed it with that red example. It's a struggle not to blow up at my family, and yes, the cause is the tension of doing things last-minute. And then I'll beat myself up, which means I'm STILL emotionally unavailable to them 😞😞

      This! Yes! Planning paralysis! I learned a master list helps! A running to do list, moving things to weekly then daily. Room for wiggle room if I am having higher or lower energy day!

      If you use an online calendar system, you could colour code it!

    • @Lili-xq9sn
      @Lili-xq9sn ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Maybe incorporate (for instance) yellow things or paint the walls yellow in the laundry areas. Place some Blue things in your computer area. Green things in your distress zone. And make a small corner, if you have room, to keep/deal with emergency tasks.

    I hate to ask, but what if you don’t know what your “greens” are because you’ve hidden in the blue zone so frequently that you just feel ashamed of who you are most of the time? (ADHD)

    • @susa5846
      @susa5846 ปีที่แล้ว

      I felt the same some time ago. You can try a task and ask yourself later what colour it was while doing it. Then mark it with the colour you'd chosen. Over time you'll feel safer and safer about what makes you feel good, what keeps you energized and what costs you more energy.
      Sometimes I felt something would be so hard to do but when I finished it those tasks gave me much more energy than it costs me to do it. And your brain will make it easier to do if you do it over and over again.
      All the best for you! 🍀

    • @susa5846

      My one cat eats everything I thought cats would never eat like carrots or potatoes. He likes to bite into silicone, too. So I guess yes, there might be cats outside who'd like to eat catnip.
      While writing this my other cat is desperately searching for the little baby doll from the dollhouse of my daughter. She loves hair ties and this baby doll wears a little neckerchief made with rubberband so I guess it smells good for her.😅
