Most of us keep todo lists to stay productive, but they can start to feel overwhelming especially when you end the day with a bunch of unchecked boxes.
Here is a simple switch that can change how you feel about your day:
Keep a “done” list alongside your todo list. Every time you complete a task (even small stuff like replying to an email, fixing a typo, or making a call), write it down.
At the end of the day, you will actually see what you accomplished, not just what you failed to get to. That small mindset shift makes a big difference it reduces guilt, improves morale, and keeps you moving forward.
Especially helpful if you are self-employed, working remotely, or doing any kind of creative work where progress is not always immediately obvious.
