Focus on Your Personal Values, Not an Incomplete to-Do List
You may be trying to complete your to-do list every day and things often slip away, but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. On those days, see if you fit your personal values checklist.
Instead of looking at what you haven’t done on your list, Inc provides some tips on how to value your day. If you stayed true to your values, and not your to-do list, it may have been a productive day after all:
Think about the day, what you did, and try to determine which of your personal qualities you used the most. Recognize this quality. When you acknowledge your positive qualities, you use them more, and that, in turn, makes you feel better about yourself and your life in general.
These attributes can be the reason why you didn’t do everything you planned. This alternative view, of course, does not justify putting off the case until later. Not doing everything on the list was a deliberate decision to postpone something because something else took precedence. Follow the link for other reasons why you might not do everything, but still have a good day.
