I started planning my day visually and it weirdly reduced my stress a lot
I used to make huge to-do lists every day and then end up ignoring all of them after a few hours. It always felt overwhelming seeing 20 tasks stacked together.
Recently I switched to a more visual way of planning my day where I can actually “see” my time instead of just reading tasks, and weirdly it’s helped me stay calmer and more consistent.
Instead of thinking: “I have 15 things to do”
my brain now thinks: “Okay, this next 30-40 mins is just for this one thing."
It feels less mentally heavy and I procrastinate less.
A few people asked what I meant by visual planning. I’ve been trying Timmio recently and I think that’s where this clicked for me. I liked seeing my day as actual time blocks instead of staring at one long task list. #inspiration source
