Today, we're gonna talk about how to simplify our to do list. I have a master to do list digitally on my laptop, and that has everything. Anything that I need to do, whether it is now or in the future, is on that list, and it's categorized and it's beautiful. But what I do daily is I just have this little notebook. It's very bendable.

I can throw it in my purse, and I just write down what I need to get done for that day, but I always focus on the top three things. As always, we're simplifying things, we're not overcomplicating it. I suggest to have a master to do list of everything that you need to get done somewhere, whether it's on paper or digitally, either way. But then just simplify the day by having a little notebook or, again, on your phone, that part doesn't matter, but focus on the top three things that you need to get done for that day, and that is it. Three things a day.

By focusing on the top three things, it prevents you from feeling guilty and that you're not getting enough done. If I have 65 things on this list, I just know that's not gonna happen. But if you finish the top 3, you can keep adding to it, and that's when I reference the master list. My foundation is my master list of everything. And then I pull from that, and I put it here.

And that is how we keep our to do list simple, not overcomplicated, and stress free. So go get organized. Happy organizing, everybody. Follow Christina's Corner for more tips and tricks, how to get organized.
