It’ll never be all done all at once—there will always be something that needs to be worked on.
I’m reflecting on this as I take this weekend to catch up on all of my indoor and outdoor chores. There are so many things that need to be completed that by the time I’m done with the last item, the first item would need to be done again—and so the circle goes.
This is why it’s healthy to adopt a mindset of, “Won—not done.”
“Done” is a forever fleeting finish line that’ll only frustrate and upset you whenever you try to attain it.
But, “won” is always do-able.
Start by asking yourself: What are the most important tasks to complete that’ll give me a “win” for the day? And then repeat tomorrow.
Collecting “Ws” works a lot better for productivity and mental health than feeling like all you ever do is fall short.
