How to Avoid Mind Clutter Using a To-Do List
![Page 2: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Using a to-do list and prioritising the items on it, and then getting them done
in order of priority is a very effective way to avoid stress and mind clutter.
![Page 3: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
If you don’t write yourself any other handy lists, this is a very good place to
start. There is something so very satisfying about crossing a task off your
To Do list.
![Page 4: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
If your To Do list is very long, then you might need to examine your life a bit.
Do you really need to get all those things done in one day?
![Page 5: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Or can some of them be left off, delayed slightly or delegated? Perhaps it’s time for you to be more realistic in
your expectations for yourself and possibly say no to a few requests.

Don’t beat yourself up and tell yourself you’re a failure just because you’re not Superman or Superwoman and can’t get everything in a massive list done
within a 24 hour period.
![Page 8: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Even if you could get it all done, you won’t be able to sustain that sort of pressure for long – burnout and/or
depression are likely results of this sort of over-achievement.

The Greeks have a proverb that says that if you try to do more than three major tasks in one day, the gods will
kick you. It’s good advice!

But there’s more to making lists than just To Do lists.
![Page 11: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Another very good list that will help you beat stress and make you feel better
about yourself is a gratitude list.
![Page 12: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

This sort of list will help you get some perspective on life and help you realise
that you’ve got plenty to be happy about.
![Page 14: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
You can write one big gratitude list in a single session where you try to list, say,
50 things that you’re grateful for.
![Page 15: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

These can be simple things, such as “sunny weather” or “great cup of coffee
for morning tea” or more significant things like “manage to close the deal
with that important client”.

Gratitude lists are especially helpful if you feel the years creeping up on you
and you start hankering to be a teenager again: make a list of all the
reasons why the age you are is better than being a teenager (come on, you
don’t really want to go back to the days of school uniforms, exams and acne,
do you?).
![Page 19: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Gratitude lists look back, but other lists look forward. Make a list of your goals.
![Page 20: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
These can be from any area of life, such as career, family, travel or health. Don’t censor yourself – nobody’s going
to see this list except you!
![Page 21: How to avoid mind clutter using a to do list](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/545bb9ecaf79590b088b6024/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
For example, your list might include “learn how to knit,” “recycle more
instead of throwing out rubbish,” “write a novel”, “run a half marathon” or
“declutter my house”.

You don’t have to wait for January 1 to write these life goals. The end of winter
is often a good time – there’s something about the cold weather and the sense that spring is about to come
and give the world a fresh start that makes it suitable for new beginnings of
all kinds.
