In Part 1, we explored why to-do lists are crucial and discussed best practices to make them effective. Now, get ready for the fun part! Join us as we introduce three fantastic list types: the Ta-Da list, the To-Done list, and the To-Be list.  First up, the Ta-Da list celebrates your accomplishments, big and small. Second, the To-Done list captures what you do each day, instilling a sense of pride and motivation on challenging days.

While To-Do lists keep us organized and focused, we propose going beyond actions and incorporating a To-Be list.

I was reading the book Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano and this paragraph made me catch my breath, it reads: “After they made love that night, they slept naked for the the first time since they were young. They were dismantling their habits and routines and it was like pulling up floorboards and finding joy underneath." What are the floorboards you need to pull up? Do you have habits or routines that you created because you thought that’s what you should do? You thought they were what was holding you up but underneath there was joy.  In this episode, I encourage you to locate the the routines or habits that are your shoulds. Where are you trying harder and maybe you need to try easier? Could it be that pushing makes you flat, and you need to fizz? Bubble? Pop?  I wish for you bravery--that you might let go of a should in a way that makes you proud of yourself, in a way that presses upon you and makes you fizz with possibility.
