Wonderful and very reflective! I've never been a naturally organised person. I did try sticking to lists before, but as you say just found it too much pressure to stick to them. I did used to enjoy writing a list of things I'd achieved that day instead, but I don't feel the need to do that anymore. It's all a mindset isn't it. 🙏🙂✨️
Td-do lists work for some, and they need them to function. For others they create stress and the constant feeling of “not enough”. I loved learning from Gretchen Rubin the idea of Ta-daa lists to celebrate what’s done. And instead of bucket lists I like gratitude lists. For example, when I worked at school my summer goal was to sleep and read. Doable. Everything else was a bonus that created a beautiful gratitude list in the end of the summer.
Thanks for reading, Terje, and for sharing your thoughts! It's very subjective, of course, and everyone has to find a way that works for them. I like the expression "Ta-daa lists", nice turnaround. 😎🥳 Great to hear that gratitude lists work so well for you!! Gratitude is something I value highly myself and practice daily. My husband and I have some kind of daily ritual where we talk about the small and good things we are grateful for over a hot beverage. I also like to name them in my head just before falling asleep. 🥰

Thank you ☺️ - and thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'm happy for you that you never felt the need to write or stick to lists. That's great!
Yes, I agree, it's all a mindset and it's so liberating to change it. 🙂
