Overwhelming To-do Lists

Feb 12, 2020 | This and That

Does this to-do list look familiar? Ok, so maybe I don’t really have over 700 tasks to do today, but sometimes it feels that way. When everything seems to pile right up on top of itself, I find myself in desperate need of a streamline. I go through my list and organize each item by complexity. I try to knock out the smaller/easier things first—this usually gives me a boost in productivity. Then I break down the larger, more timely tasks into smaller manageable groups. Lastly, I prioritize each group and set specific times to tackle each one. How do you streamline when your work starts to teeter on overwhelming?
