Can do lists
3 years ago
A small but effective semantic trick : I retitled my “To Do” list my “CAN DO LIST” -it may be cheesy but it alters my immediate response when I see it as a collection of things I CAN and WILL achieve instead of tasks I SHOULD and HAVE TO do. For me, getting started is in actuality more arduous than most of the endeavors themselves. If I can approach undertakings without thinking of them as major efforts or burdens, just things I’ll set into, finish, and feel better for having in motion and off my mind, I’m motivated rather then demanded/deterred.
