Beyond Daily Planning

Extend the method to budgeting by categorising purchases as must-haves, should-haves and nice-to-haves, before going shopping. This visual categorisation aids in making more informed spending decisions.

Maintaining Manageability

To avoid overwhelming yourself, limit each list to three to four items per day. Striking a balance between must-do and should-do tasks ensures that there is space for want-to-do tasks. It’s crucial to be discerning; if a task isn’t a ‘must’, consider categorising it as a ‘should’. While this technique injects an element of fun and reduces stress, it works best when tasks are appropriately categorised, avoiding treating every task as an urgent necessity.

By incorporating this practical and enjoyable method into your daily routine, you can strike a balance between productivity and personal satisfaction, making each day more manageable and fulfilling.
