If I Can't Accomplish Anything Else Today, I Can Do These 10 ThingsWe’ve all had days where it seems as though nothing gets done. For those times when I seem to be spinning my wheels, I keep a list of things that I can do every day, even when I have no extra time, money, or energy to spare. I sometimes forget to write in my one-sentence journal and I don’t always make it to the gym, but I do try to make sure I hit all these items.

That way, even if I feel like I had a day when I got nothing accomplished, I can comfort myself, as I climb into my smooth, tidy bed, “Well, at least I went for a walk. I ate an apple. I hugged my daughters.”

  1. go to work
    eat something
    make dinner for my family when I can
    return a phone call
    answer an email
    attend to business.

    All of these things are a push to do – especially work and attend to business. One step at a time.

  2. Too often we take such simple things for granted, when they really do add up to day that feels productive and meaningful. I enjoyed this post, Gretchen :)
