Let's imagine you're facing several options of possible things you can do.
This is the case for me on most Saturday mornings.
Exercise, laundry, interact with the children, stay in bed and read, write this sentence, or meal plan and hit the grocery store before the crowds.
All viable options.
You can replace my Saturday morning with any equivalent in your life.
Perhaps yours is recurring like mine, or perhaps your life is so well sequenced that spending your time reading a post about sequencing would feel out of sequence.
If you're in the latter camp, thanks for making it this far.
This post is for those of us in the former camp.
So there I am on a Saturday morning, no alarm, just a smooth natural wake up, and now confronted with several options to choose from.
I've learned that spending my time choosing/deciding when to fit in all of the things is overwhelming.
Through this approach I actually end up doing nothing, at least for a while.
Recently, I've found a more successful approach.
An approach that actually helps me do something.
It's based on answering a very simple question:
Of all these things, what do I want to do first?
After I've chosen, then done that thing, I look at what's left on the list and repeat the question.
If you're stuck on a sequence, just focus on knocking over the first domino.
