Who knew . . . To Do lists are out and To Done lists are the new thing?
If you know me at all you will know that I have mad skillz when it comes to making lists and I am easily motivated by even the tiniest bit of competition even if it's with myself.
This weekend I decided I was tired of feeling constantly behind on my To Do list so I challenged myself to see if I could write a To DONE list. My goal was to see if I could make my To Done list longer than My To Do list by moving items from one to the other. Apparently checks and crossing out just aren't enough any more.
The To Done list worked! How is it that a small mental shift and tiny behavoiral change can be so motivating? Why is being productive so gratifying?
