What?

One of the ways I am trying to increase my productivity is to remind myself of how productive I’ve been already. By doing so, I hope to alleviate the feeling of “always too much to do!” rather than the more helpful “look at how much I’ve gotten done!”, because let’s face it- there’s always too much still to do, but it’s easy to forget about how much you’ve done.

Despite all the various ways each of us has to remind ourselves of the things to do (I’ll be honest and say the only one that has ever worked for me is a pen and a piece of paper, despite the myriad online options available), very few of us keep any record of what’s been accomplished. So the inbox is always full, the outbox is always empty, and in the end, all you are is exhausted.

I already spend enough time exhausted. So here is where I will begin my modest list of little accomplishments (provided they’re creative ones, of course. I mean I don’t plan on listing “cleaned my kitchen” or “scooped kitty litter”.) Where I can, I’ll link to the results. Think of it as a way of achieving balance. Try it yourself!
