Do you ever find it hard to feel satisfied with how much you achieved in a day? 😮💨Productivity can be really hard to define or get a dopamine boost from if you don’t actually ‘finish’ something or have a final product to show for your efforts.
When days feel overwhelming, try using the 3-3-3 rule to reframe your perception.
🌟 Spend 3 hours on your most important project (a task that won’t get finished today, but is still a priority to chip away at). This can be things like big reports, deep cleaning, or just mothering our children!
🌟 Do 3 urgent tasks - things that have a deadline or sense of urgency to meet other needs. This could be responding to an email, booking an appointment or running an errand.
🌟 Do 3 maintenance tasks - daily things that never seem to be fully finished, but require our attention anyway. Things like clearing your desk, putting on a load of laundry, or making yourself lunch. Tasks that on their own don’t feel like a priority, but influence how well we can perform the tasks that are important.
