This tool works so well in conjunction with Journaling, but can equally be used as a standalone tool.
 
Whether you have a daily journaling practice or not, begin to take note of the things that bring you joy each day, and also the things that sapped your joy. Turn these into a list of all the things you might choose to do or avoid in any given week.
 
Next, take a highlighter and highlight the things on your list that you want to do / avoid EVERY DAY.
 
Then with another highlighter write the numbers 5, 20, 60 (number of minutes) or the letter D (full day) beside the other things on your list according to how long they take…
 
Add your EVERYDAY TASKS onto your planner.
 
Display your tool box somewhere prominent in your home and schedule time for them each day or select from them whenever you have the time.
