“Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.” – Glenn Turner
You have too much to do, and you know it. You know you’re not going to be able to finish everything on your todo list today.
You know that, as usual, there will be some things you feel you really NEED to do but won’t be able to get done.
And of course, because you don’t cross those things off your todo list – you worry
You lay awake at night thinking about them.
You know they’re still going to be there for you tomorrow morning.
When you’re driving to work, they’re taunting you, and nagging at the back of your mind.
These gremlin tasks never leave you alone.
Even at social events, when you’re making small talk, all you can think about is “when can I leave so I can get to sleep so I can get up early so I can finish … ” well, that thing that you probably aren’t actually going to do tomorrow anyway.
You may not even really be sure what you’re supposed to do – but it’s on your todo list, and you feel like you have to do it
Fear not: after much research, trial & error, and plenty of internal worrying of my own, I discovered the solution – courtesy of David Allen.
