Simplify and Conquer: To-Do List Strategies

About this episode

Sheridan Ripley shares strategies for managing to-do lists by distinguishing between ongoing routines and finishable projects.

In this episode, I share a simple way to get clarity on my to-do list by separating items into routines (ongoing) versus projects (finishable). I walk through asking, “Do I actually want to do this?” and what to do if the answer is yes, no, or not right now. I also share how I identify obstacles, make a plan, delegate, or move ideas into a “parking lot” list for later.
