About this episode

This episode discusses the pitfalls of traditional to-do lists and offers new perspectives on managing tasks effectively.

Do you love a to-do list as much as I do? I loooove a to-do list. Well, mostly I love checking things off that list. But on this week’s Build Your Copywriting Business podcast episode, Kate and I dug into how we’ve been rethinking the to-do list so we don’t fall into what Kate is calling the “to-do list trap.” If you ever put things on your list and: Feel guilty for every day that an item sits on your list—and you don’t complete it Feel like you have to check off every item on your list because they’re there Or feel like your list is never-ending (because it literally will never end!) Then you’ll come away with new ways to look at your to-do lists so you get all the benefits of a list without the burden. --------------- Mentioned in the Episode Ep. 154: How Freelancers Can Masterfully Juggle Multiple Projects – with Kaitlyn Spinney Episode BONUS: AI & Copywriting: Using AI to Your Advantage to Wow Clients and Land High-Paying Work Ep. 241: ChatGPT: Friend or Foe? – with Amber Smith Related Links 4 Tools to Stay On Top of Your To-Do List Ep. 154: How Freelancers Can Masterfully Juggle Multiple Projects – with Kaitlyn Spinney --------------- Get Free Copywriting Training here
