Get Rid of Unnecessary Pressure From Your Life With the Bucket Opponent List
A wish list can be a great way to keep track of everything you want to achieve in your life, but it can also put a lot of pressure on you that you don’t need. You can balance the situation by creating a bucket counter list.
When you break it all down, a to-do list is essentially a to-do list, and for a productive person who likes to cross things off their to-do list, it can backfire when things don’t happen. Zen Habits’ Leo Babauta invites you to get rid of this pressure and focus on the here and now with the Bucket Opponent List:
Life is not a big to-do list, and it is not about optimizing everything we do in life. The most amazing things are right in front of us, right where we are. Now. We don’t need to travel anywhere, or see incredible sights, or engage in daring deeds to experience the miracle of life. And we can do meaningful work right where we are. What would a shorter list of meaningful activities look like? What will be on your anti-bucket list?
Chances are, most of the things on your wishlist are unusual or possibly abstract. Take the weight off your shoulders and focus on what you can enjoy and achieve now. Who knows, it could get you to what was on your wishlist faster. Goals are good, but if you really look, the life you have right in front of you can be pretty wonderful too. Sometimes you just need to change your point of view. Read the link below to find out more.
