Do It Today: Day 18 Thoughts

January is more than half over, and I’m thrilled with my progress on this month’s Happiness Project “Do It Today”.

This month, instead of my to-do list growing, it is shrinking. And getting all these things done, keeping up with the stuff coming in, simply sending out emails and making the calls instead of stressing about them, has made my burden feel lighter. Life is not as stressful; I feel like I can take on new things and move forward instead of getting weighed down by what needs to get done.

I’m optimistic that now that I’ve focused on getting my “pile” smaller that, with a bit of monitoring, it won’t grow out of control again. And now that I know how great it feels to have the list under control, I’m going to be inspired to keep it that way.

Some things left on the list: Get will signed, sharpen knives, plan February trips.
