when all is done, you feel FREEDOM.

✈☀🌴🏄

So why do you experience this done-for-today freedom so rarely?

Science!

your mind works best if you focus on one task at a time

your mind feels comfortable with a single list of 5 to 7 tasks

if there’s more, your brain gets overloaded and you can’t focus

“Most people feel best about their work the week before their vacation, but it's not because of the vacation itself. What do you do the last week before you leave on a big trip? You clean up, close up, clarify, and renegotiate all your agreements with yourself and others. I just suggest that you do this weekly (better -daily!)instead of yearly.” David Allen, Getting Things Done

this is an ideal to-do listTODAY

Instead of enjoying the rest of your day, your mind starts preparing

for tasks that are irrelevant today

So in order to experience the done-for-today freedom

you need to have only one list:
