Let’s face it we millennial’s have busy lives as of this year every millennial that was born in the 90s are adults. This means the majority of millennial’s now have bills to pay, and adult responsibilities to take care of. Growing up in the age of social networking, smart phones, and high tech laptops it is easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount that must/needs to get done.
Instead of trying to accomplish everything at once, give individual focus to each thing on your to do list at a time. I’ve discovered recently that by making a list of to do’s and goals for the day and giving attention to each item individually I am able to accomplish everything on my list, sometimes I even managed to get more done then what I originally planned.
Cleaning used to really frustrate me, because I would think I had to do everything in a room at once. Since breaking down each of the rooms in my house into individual tasks and assigning certain tasks to certain days I find my home ten times cleaner, and staying clean longer. For example my kitchen is broken down into dishes, counter tops, floors, recycling, trash and fridge. I could write an entire post on the way I’ve broken down each room into much smaller tasks.

In addition, to breaking down my cleaning tasks I have also broken down my work. I assign tasks for each day. I write down everything that needs to be done in the week. I then break down each of those into individual activities. I then take those activities and put them on the different days throughout the week. For example last week looked like this for me:
To do week of Feb. 13-19

Since breaking my work down in this way I am able to accomplish a lot more every week. Sometimes more than I had planned for. By giving each activity its own attention I’m able to accomplish ten times more. Now that I have managed to get my chores and workload under control I’m planning to do something similar with the baby and making it a goal to complete 2-3 activities with him every day so I can make sure he is getting the attention he needs in order to grow.
How has giving your focus to one thing at a time helped you? Will you try to give your attention towards completing one activity at a time today? Let me know in the comments, I always love hearing my readers thoughts.
You really make it seem so easy along with your presentation however I to find this matter to be really something that I think I would by no means understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely large for me. I’m taking a look forward for your subsequent publish, I’ll attempt to get the grasp of it!
When you see it all written down it can appear like a lot. However, the idea is that we all have tasks that we do over and over again either day after day or week after week, or even month after month. It is the tasks that we frequently do that often become overwhelming as they can often pile up especially when it come to things like housework. The idea of this post is to simplify you work load, by simplifying your thoughts. By focusing on one thing at a time instead of 10 you can accomplish more faster. So instead of trying to clean the whole kitchen at once, choose an area like the fridge or the counters or the dishes get it done 100% then move on to the next area of the kitchen.
