Just 3 Things

Deilla · Jun 26, 2019 at 06:10 PM

Lately I've been keeping To Do Lists. Some of them have been quite long and have left me a bit overwhelmed. A friend of mine from another forum reminded me of the 3 Task Rule. Just pick 3 things to do each day. One really tough one and two fairly simple. Try your best to complete them. What you don't get to one day goes on the list for the next day. I like that rule. So I'm starting Just 3 Things.

Tomorrow my three things are:

Go to my doctor's appointment.
Cook a nice meal.
Unload the dishwasher.

Great thread! I’m a big fan of the 3 MIT rule. Tomorrow mine will be

1. Clean the den
2. Go through the mail
3. Pick up medicine

This is great advice!

I made it to my doctor's appointment. That went very well. I didn't cook a meal but I ordered sandwiches from Red Robbin. And I didn't get around to unloading the dishwasher. So I plan to tomorrow:

Unload dishwasher.
Clean litter boxes.
Set up my VR headset.

Sunflower123 · Jun 27, 2019 at 08:09 PM

Today, I didn’t accomplish anything. I will try again tomorrow. My 3 MIT for tomorrow are

1. Rehoming my daughter’s dog
2. Seeing a movie
3. Floating in the pool

FracturedPieces · Jun 27, 2019 at 09:18 PM

1. Packing
2. Read a bit of my book
3. Finally finish the last episodes of GOT

My T taught me this helpful idea! It’s great, also I leave a slot open one day that I label finish list activity and free time. So I reward myself for completing. It definitely keeps me on track.

My three things to do today:
1. Pick up groceries
2. Make slime with my niece
3. Pick up living room and put things where they go

Good luck to you, this habit is hard to get into but I keep a list to cross off and on bad days I hang it on the refrigerator to keep focused.

I unloaded the dishwasher and cleaned the litter boxes today. I didn't set up my VR headset. I was too busy playing the new release of my game.

Tomorrow I plan on doing:

Declutter living room.
Clean litter boxes.
Fold laundry.

I got the most important thing done...rehoming my daughter’s dog. I didn’t float in the pool but am going to see a movie later.

Tomorrow my MITs are:

1. Floating in the pool
2. Cleaning the den
3. Cleaning the dining room

Take out the trash.
Clean litter boxes.
Load the dishwasher.

Today I managed to accomplish all three tasks. It's not even noon yet. I'm a bit tired and in need of a nap.

Tomorrow I plan:

Tidy up living room (put up cat toys).
Order groceries.
Paint rocks.

I saw my NP today but have not done the other two items. I am about to run errands now and work on editing my vision board on Pinterest. My MIT for tomorrow are:

1. Finish the den
2. Go to a Fourth of July celebration (yes, it’s one day early)
3. Finish the dining room

Hope you enjoy the cook out tomorrow. I bought stuff to make my own burgers. But my burgers go in the microwave lol! And enjoy your session with your life coach. Sounds cool!
