Episode 9: Conquering Your To-Do List

The beginning of the year and that time when you come up with your goals and priorities for the year always seem like a clean slate, right? But give it a couple of weeks, and your to-do list can start to get of control. We’ve all been there!

That’s why we wanted to talk about conquering your to-do list and what you can do to prevent it from controlling your life or causing guilt or insecurity about all the things you need to do.

Tune in as we talk about how we organize the tasks on our to-do lists, share stories of success and failure, and discuss some strategies for managing your tasks efficiently.

What you'll hear in this episode:
- Why it’s important not to jump into making a to-do list before you set your priorities and goals

- What to do when everything on your to-do list seems important, and you can’t prioritize
- How to handle tasks that have been sitting on your to-do list for too long
- What to do on those days when a personal emergency happens, and you have to re-prioritize your to-do list
