To help you redesign your to-do list in a way that supports productivity and well-being. We explored habits, mindset, flexible planning, and energy-conscious tools to work with your life—not against it.
Habits are the Foundation
-
Habits shape our lives: 40–45% of our daily actions are habits.
-
Creating quality habits frees up mental space for creativity and decision-making.
-
Long-standing habits build neural pathways—meaning they take time and effort to change.
-
Reframing helps: Instead of “I should work out,” try “I get to move my body because I’m strong and alive.”
💡 Remember: You make the rules. You decide what counts as a “win.”
To-Do List Types (Explore What Works for You) 📋
-
Classical Linear: One-time tasks (today, this week, someday…)
-
Time-Based: Daily, weekly, monthly rhythms
-
Priority-Based: High vs. low urgency
-
By Category: Career, money, wellness, family…
-
Vision Board Style
-
Paper vs. Digital — pick what feels good
Helpful Tools & Ideas 💡
-
Use a beautiful template or app to make your planning fun
-
Create a menu:
-
Movement Menu: What counts as “movement” or “exercise” for you
-
Self-Care Menu: Activities that bring calm, joy, or energy
-
Having options helps reduce guilt and increase motivation
-
Celebrate achievements (big and small)
-
Create theme weeks or intention days
-
Don’t take your to-do list too seriously
If it takes less than 2 minutes—do it right away
What About Low-Energy Days?
Consistency doesn’t mean doing the same thing every day—it means showing up in a way that honors your current capacity.
Create low-energy versions of your key tasks:
-
Normal Day: Workout = 45 mins → Low Energy Day: 10 mins walk/stretch
-
Study = 1 hr → Low Energy: 15 mins
This way, you stay in motion without burning out.
Bonus Tips
-
Try solo dates! You don’t have to wait on someone to enjoy something.
-
Use visual systems and trackers to make it playful
-
Partner up! Accountability buddies boost motivation
-
Create a reward system that feels meaningful
-
Gratitude helps: Your brain can’t feel anxiety and gratitude at the same time.
Your to-do list should support you—not stress you out.
Plan with compassion. Move with joy.
Glow up your productivity by taking care of you.
