A Tip For When You're Feeling Behind On A To-Do List

About this episode

The episode discusses how to regain a sense of accomplishment when feeling overwhelmed by a heavy to-do list through the use of a 'did it' list.

When a heavy task list makes everything feel unfinished, a "did it" list puts quick wins back in view. Ned suggests writing down the things already done, even the ones that never made the list, so the day stops feeling like zero progress. Arielle points out how well that fits a productivity-heavy episode. Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala. Find us everywhere at https://dailytipspodcast.com.
