Reasons To Keep A "To Do" List

Try it;
make a list of everything you want to do tomorrow, after you read this article and see how relieved you are going to feel and how relaxed your mind is going to be.
When we are constantly thinking ahead of everything that we have to do and hoping that we don't forget anything, our mind becomes clogged up and excess things cause stress.
Eight Reasons To Make A List
1. It can help you take control of your time. You know how much time something will take and you can plan accordingly.
2. Gives a one-glance look at everything you want to accomplish.
You won't forget things if it is on your list, one glance lets you know everythin
g that there is to do.
3. Helps to eliminate mind-clutter by keeping
track of odds and ends. Once it is written down, forget it, just
follow your list, this eliminates stress of 'forgetting the important stuff'.
4. Improves your memory by writing everything down.
Everyone knows that when you write something down you remember it longer. This improves your handwriting and helps you remember things
longer.
5. Get's rid of mental stress by emptying your brain of trivial items.
This gives the brain time to relax, thus,eliminating stress and mental fatique.
6. Helps you to schedule time for breaks and relaxation.
Yes, you do deserve breaks during the day but, you need to schedule, this just like you do your work. It's not against the law to relax; it will boost your energy level and give you time to recharge.
7. Helps you to focus on the important things. It aklso helps you to get the most important things done first;
they will always be at the top of your list because they bother you the most.
8. You will have complete satisfaction of crossing things off your list...
This will give you a total feeling of accomplishment. When you look at everything that you managed to accomplish in an hour, a
half day, a full day; you will be amazed at how good you are. This will make you wonder why you haven't done this sooner and will
make you want to continue through the whole house.
Keep a small notebook or memo book in your purse or pocket, as you think of things that you want to get done, add them to your list. You can subdivide this list later such as; home, work, maintenance, appointments etc.
It will free up space in your mind so that you can concentrate on the 'job at hand'. You can give these things your full attention without the stress of worrying that you will forget something.

Practice Communication in your Marriage

Most couples believe they need better communication skills and that would change their relationship for the better. They claim that they either argue because of misunderstandings or that one or the other don’t discuss their problems openly. Communication (or lack of it) is often NOT the problem Most couples have re-hashed issues over and over and they know what their partner’s position is. The issue is often that they do not accept the partner’s position and are “trying” to get them to change to see their side. And we know how that usually goes; right? It does not happen. So often communication problems will boil down to “they are not listening to me or they would change their behavior”; or “they don’t care enough about me to change”. Neither of these thought processes are helpful to building and sustaining a fabulous relationship. Breakdowns in communication are often the way in which each partner successfully maintains a balance of power. Power and control issues usually ex...

Ways in which a Perception Of Someone can Be Defined By How Other People Describe Them

There are times when one will meet someone without knowing anything about them and then there are other times when this won’t be the case. In this instance, one will have heard about the other before person they have even met them. When this happens, one can feel as though they already know the other person, and even though they haven’t met them, they may feel the need to behave in a certain way. And the way in which they behave can all depend on how the other person describes them. First Impression This can mean that their first impression of the other person won’t be formed through being in their presence; it will be formed through listening to what other people say. It then might not matter how accurate their descriptions are, as one can believe they are finding out what someone is like. However, if one hears what other people have to say and then decides to come to their own conclusion, they might be able see for themselves. But, this doesn’t mean they won’t...
