Simplify: Where is Your List??

If your like me you have probably told yourself that you are a great multi-tasker. “I can handle anything” I would often say. Lots of us with excessive stress & anxiety are this way.

It was only after my husband pointed out that I never really finished a project and I was often overwhelmed and in tears. Truth was I couldn’t handle everything. Many days I would find myself sitting in my car in tears, I was completely overwhelmed & ready to hide under my bed.

I have to admit I have a terrible time asking for help. I really want to be able to handle everything all the time. So this was a very hard thing for me to realize.

I get overwhelmed pretty easy, but I found a really good fix for me. Lists! Lists have become my guideline for the day. There is something about checking the task off that makes me feel like I have accomplished something. Every morning I write my list right after my Healing Hour. I try to list it in the order it needs to happen during my day. My list is pretty detailed. I like to list the phone calls, emails any little task. This keeps me from looking at the whole picture and melting down.

For your list you can use anything, it doesn’t have to be fancy. We now have a list PDF that you can download and print. Each sheet holds 3 lists. You can find this and lots of other great printables in The Egg Printables Section.

No more multi-tasking!! Only focus on the next task on your list. You will be surprised that you will actually get more done & with a lot less stress!

I am always close by if you have questions or need a boost.
