Our brains start to get overwhelmed as soon as we have more than seven things to choose from. Here’s a to-do list hack that can help, especially if you get distracted easily.
Keep your to-do list, but use it only as a reference — not something to work off of. Every time you want to tackle a task, write it down on a Post-it and stick it where you can see it. Then, hide your full list and focus.
Once you finish your chosen task, cross it off your list, and start again.
The idea here is that by selecting one task at a time, you’re more likely to follow through on it, as opposed to hopping half-heartedly from task to task (or just staring off into space).
Let us know if this worked for you in the comments!
