Expert Says Minnesotans Who Are Overwhelmed Should Try This

You'd think that being highly-organized would lessen your worries. After all, knowing when an event is and where things are means there are less things to worry about...right?

Welp, having a well-organized life isn't just about knowing what to do, and when. *surprised Pikachu face*

Make a To-Don't List For Your Well-Being

While a to-do list can keep you on task, a to-don't list is meant to help you declutter your well-being.

De-what your huh?

Examples of to-don't items:

Don't skip lunch to keep working
Don't schedule meetings between 8am and 11am
Don't commit to too many social engagements
Don't sit in one place for over an hour
Don't forget to look away from the computer to rest your eyes
Don't drink too much coffee

A to-don't list is not meant to be made everyday; it's a list to check in on to remind yourself of what NOT to do, and perhaps to add to.

If you can cutdown on or eliminate non-essential things that are taking up too much of your time and joy, your overall well-being will have room to breathe.

Or just invest heavily in bubble wrap.

I already avoid so many things that my to-don't list isn't all that big. Or maybe it's because my internal to-don't list is stacked.
