Day 463 - A to-do list of things that others want you to do - https://golifelog.com/posts/a-to-do-list-of-things-that-others-want-you-to-do-1649383132716
"I started dividing my to-do list into 1) things I have to do, 2) things I want to do, and 3) things other people want me to do. Life changing! I often don’t get to 3 and I finally realized omg, is this what it means to have boundaries?! 🤯🤯🤯"

I love the 3rd to-do list – a to-do list of things that others want you to do.
Because so often we lump them together with our own to-dos, and our priorities go whack. What I love most however is how this is a concrete way of having boundaries.
Having this others’ to-do list feels like a more introvert, composed way of asserting boundaries. You want me to do something? Sure, let me put you on the to-do list and I’ll prioritize it accordingly. You’ll have to wait though…
Now out with the “to-do, doing, done” kanban board to-do list, and in with the “have to, want to and others’ want to” to-do list!

8-10am things ppl want me to do, 10am-3pm things i have to do, 3-6pm things i want to do!
prefer to get "work-work" stuff out of the way first. then as the day goes by, on to more interesting things :) this way i end the work day feeling happy haha
basically: | client work | Maynuu stuff | self-learning stuff & other exploratory / fun stuff |
