Making a to do list pleasurable and with love ❤️ 📝

There is a better way than force and black and white just do,do,do

Hello:)

By now I think you know my name and who I am. Here we are and getting into another topic. This time we will speak about to do lists and how I make them more pleasurable and not so dark and demanding for myself :)

I love to do lists. Planning, putting things into a planner and organizing. I do. But when it comes to executing… I need more creativity to be there and pleasure for me to feel like I want to do it. Especially with something that is not my passion or hearts wish.

So … what will we look into first ?

How I create it ?

What I include?

Firstly, there should always be joy involved in my to do list, otherwise I feel less desire to look at it.

I include the tasks that need to be done, any errands, and also things that bring me joy, help me feel more pleasant about it.

For example, I noticed that just plain text doesn't speak well to me, so I include animations, emojis, things of that sort so I see some more color, picture and aliveness.

Then I like to include affirmations as well, that I see fit, that I desire. For example — My light matters in this world. Or — I am capable… I am enough… I bring joy into the world… My needs matter to me… and others.

I also like to include just a simple “hello love:)” as the first task, so I don't start it off with rough “this need to be done”, I like to first say hello, or put a smily face.

What I make it look like ? Feel like ?

As previously mentioned, I include many different things, my to do lists can't be grey and dark.

I make it look appealing to me, cozy, pleasant, inviting, colorful as much as I want, with affirmations.

I make it so that I want to look into it and come again, so that the tasks don't create “ugh, not this again”, but I make it pleasant for me.

This is a short post about to do lists and I hope it brought some inspiration for you for your own list making. Let's make them brighter! For me, as I previously mentioned, I like my to do lists pleasant and inviting, I like to feel that I want to look into it, and its important that they are not plain, dark and grey. So I made it better ;)

Wishing you the best!

With love,

Ella Renāte

See you soon.
