I’m a big planner. I have lists on lists on lists of things I need to accomplish. I have lists for work. I have lists for my personal life. I have lists for events I’m planning. I have lists for the store. I have three notebooks I use interchangeably just for making lists. Sometimes it bogs my down a little, but I continue to make them.
In college, I had a girl tell me to call it the TA-DA list instead of the To-Do List. This way when you complete an item on the list you can say TA-DA!
Disclaimer: This is not a real list…I haven’t made mine today yet.
I have done it ever since that day my sophomore year, and it has changed my whole life.
Go to the store: TA- DA!
Finish that thing for work: TA-DA!
Take a shower: TA-DA!
It is a great way to complete your tasks and keep a positive attitude while doing it. The only thing that would make it better would be popping a confetti cannon while I said it.
On that note: Happy Administrative Professional’s Day to all my peeps!
How do you keep a positive attitude while completing your work?
This made me LOL. I live by my lists and from now on will be saying TA DA! as I cross each item off π
I am all about writing down lists as well, but now I think I need to write ta da lists!
I LOVE LISTS! And the ta-da thing sounds like an awesome idea!
haha I love the idea of calling it a ta-da list!
It definitely makes the mundane a little more special!
I love listening to music while I work! Unfortunately I share an office so I don't get as much as I would like.
Me too. I have so many lists going all the time!
It definitely makes me feel more accomplished when I get to add a ta-da!
It makes me feel so much more accomplished by adding that ta da!
