Most of us have a TO DO list that gets increasingly long, more overwhelming, and when we have a look to see what can be done next, its just too much to make a decision about so we end up doing nothing. Sound familiar?
What I suggest (and use myself to great effect) is to have
a secondary list called a NICE TO DO list as well - this is for items that you would love to do one day, but are not critical to get you to your goals. Stuff like reading a book your were given, subscribing to a magazine, making a peice of artwork for your wall etc.... - basically things that would make no real difference to you if they never got done, but would be great things to do if you ended up with a free afternoon one day.
If you go through your TO DO list and take off all the items that are really NICE TO DO's you may be surprised at how many are transferred. Leaving you with a more easily managable TO DO list with items that will really push you towards your goals and give you momentum to keep going.
Having them written down will mean that you will not forget about them, and so can take them out of your current thinking - and some may at some point be added back on your TO DO list when and if they become required rather than just wanted.
I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me!
