The Dilemma

We all have so much to do, and so little time to do it. It’s not good enough either to just be busy, we need to learn to be productive in a balanced manner.

The Solution

Inspiration

I was watching the youtuber, Do It One A Dime, and I heard her talk about this method of planning your day, so I decided to try it. Here’s how it works:

You decide on your 3 weeds for the day. These are important and urgent things that you probably don’t want to do but need to get out the way, like laundry or making an appointment, etc. Then, you decide your 3 seeds for the day. These are things you want to accomplish that will help your business grow, or will nurture a relationship, or self care.

I really like this method of planning because it simplifies my to-do list and helps me prioritize. Its much more realistic to pare my day down into my top 3 seeds and top 3 weeds. I definitely feel more or sense of accomplishment because I don’t look at all the undone parts of my to do list and if I am unable to finish, I don’t feel as much of a sense of dread. It helps me adopt a mindset of progress not perfection.
