‘Chunking’ Tasks into Bite-Size Pieces.

You know those things on your to-do list that seem to be permanent residents because for some reason they just feel too big to fit into the time you have? Or your mental energy just doesn’t seem to be enough to conquer it? 

Today’s challenge is for those little beauties. Often, it isn’t actually because the task is too big or complicated in itself, often it is because we have tied a certain emotion to it and then grown accustomed to it being on our list without moving. Today we are going to shake this up by ‘chunking’. This means sitting down for 3 minutes and writing down 3 EASY things that you could do to get started on one of your to-do list’s  permanent resident projects. It could be calling to make a booking for an appointment/consultation, making a list for the store if you need supplies, drawing a plan, doing a 5 minute workout video. The trick in this is to signal to your brain that this task is underway, it isn’t incredibly hard and progress on this task is attainable. Once you have written down and then completed the three easy things, write down 2-3 next steps to complete tomorrow or later in the day, keep the momentum going. Before you know it, you will be well on your way to crossing that bad boy off!! 

Let’s get rid of those pesky to-dos!
