אגורה היא מערכת שיתוף חפצים נהדרת. יש גם אפליקציה. מניסיון אני יודעת שהרבה פעמים אנשים נמנעים מלהיפרד מחפץ כלשהו, למרות שכבר אין להם בו צורך, רק כי הם לא יודעים מה לעשות איתו וחבל להם סתם לזרוק או להשאיר ברחוב. ומצד שני, הרבה אנשים צריכים או רוצים משהו והם לא יכולים או לא רוצים לשלם עליו.אגורה היא פתרון מצוין למצבים האלה.
In this last post I want to touch something I saw countless times in my work, the fact that most people find the hardest to swallow; not only in regards to todo lists but with whatever we work on. Yet, I find it to be the most crucial ingredient to add if we want to take a step beyond, keep growing, experiencing more wellness. The real magic is Maintenance.
You know these tasks that no matter how much you invest in them, they seem never to end and the satisfaction is not so abundant? There are called ‘rolling tasks’ (sorry, I couldn’t remember where I first heard this name). They are tasks that are either very vast and even kind of vague (like looking for a new home or changing work); or tasks that are dependent on many outside factors that we have little control over (like deciding what to do with our finances). They usually demand some research and thinking. Although they carry a few challenges, we can overcome them by using some easy tricks. To explain, I will use the example of looking for a new home. Here is my recipe for dealing with them.
For when we really can’t deal with the original plan. Are you familiar with those days when you are up todo, but somehow cannot get to the original plan? It can be a case of no inspiration or just a change of circumstances. It happens to me at times, and it is somewhat challenging to go back to the drawing board, and we can get spaced out. This is when the backup list comes handy.
If you fully grasp it, your TODO Life will change, seriously :) I want to share with you in this post a discovery that I had many years ago, one that changed my relationships with my todo list. It can change yours too.
There is this saying that the one who puts the alarm clock at night is not the one that wakes up. And it is so true, also in regards to what we plan for tomorrow. When the new day starts, we may be in a different mood than what we felt yesterday, there may be all kinds of things that distract us, some unexpected demands, and needs. If we start our day by investing in deciding how to make it beautiful and efficient, our inner resources may be finished and/or that there is no time to do anything.
*A series of posts on how to create a friendly relationship with our todo lists* Golden advice for when we feel overwhelmed with things we want to achieve.
How should I write my list? I never know what to do with it… All these scraps of papers are everywhere… All these lists everywhere...And I can never find them... These are very common sentences that I hear from my clients (combined with a helpless face :)). Sounds familiar? Lists are like guides – if we know how to harness them to work for us.
If your lists are lost again and again and/or becoming "ugly" too often, this post is for you* *Mainly for those who use hard copy The problem Lists have the tendency to go under, hide, or to become unappealing. But actually, they do enjoy fulfilling their destiny and be seen :) They are born to help us!
What do you feel when you say 'todo list'? I bet you wouldn't say 'I feel inspired and motivated.' You may feel indifferent, but you may feel resistant, frustrated, tired. The way we feel when we say this name is undoubtedly connected to our relationship with it; and our relationships with these lists are related to how much it is easy or difficult for us to lead the life we want.
