Ever stared at a to-do list that somehow made you feel more overwhelmed instead of focused?
You’re not alone.
For a long time, I thought productivity was about cramming everything into one massive list and just powering through it. But the truth is, your to-do list shouldn't be another source of pressure. It should support you, your goals and your dreams.
In this final episode of the Own Your Day series, we’re digging into the real reason most to-do lists don’t work—and how to create one that actually helps you build momentum and take action - minus the burn out.
When you build your to-do list using the four foundational pillars in this episode, you will finally feel organized, focused, and in control of your day.
Grab a pen and paper and your favorite beverage and let's build a to-do list together that moves you forward.
