I'm Opening A New Chapter

After my yesterday Upside Down frustration, I decided to open a new chapter with a different approach.

A plan for another day with listed tasks works fine for me as it keeps me on track. But there is still a hidden trap that brings me into trouble very soon.

Let's say I would list down everything I want to do the following day. I would even try to keep it real. Meaning, to be executive in the given time frame but with one big "IF," - if everything would go more or less as it was planned and nothing unexpectable would occur. Great! How often is that? About 0.01% of times! And that's my standard trap!

I also noticed there are many things I do during the day like cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping and many others that I don't even consider as tasks, but they are in fact quite a time consumable tasks as well.

That's why the new chapter with a different approach is here.
I decided that the list of tasks for the following day should not exceed the number of ten tasks per day. And as a task would be considered every activity that would take me 30 or more minutes to make it done.

For instance, if I can hop to the bakery to buy bread inside 5 or 10 minutes, it wouldn't be considered as a task. But if I have to go to some bigger grocery shopping that would take me for sure 30 minutes or more it would be considered as a task.

Tomorrow it's a new day, so will see how it would work!
