We often have to make giant to-do lists, with good intentions. We hope that we can get them all done but the end of the day they're not done. This leads to frustration, and we feel like we wasted a whole day on who knows what. Maybe our productivity problem can be solved by having a smaller to-do list.
By doing things in batches, and having a smaller to-do list. You can get so much more done that you wouldn't ever expect.

# Adjust your focus #
By having a smart to do list, we are focusing on smaller amounts of things. This makes it easier to get more done. Sitting down and writing multiple posts, is easier than writing one post, Followed by doing something different. Doing things together often simplifies and speeds up the process.

So instead of having a massive to-do list of all these little things I need to do on my business, And on my blog, going to my job, managing my employees, taking care of my rabbits, and all the other little things that I need to do. I can do one or two things, all day long. Get it all done, and then worry about a new project the next day.

# Mix It Up #
Doing it this way also allows you to mix things up.  I look forward to the next day. Because I know I get to do something else, something different. Even though it's something I've done before, it still feels different and unique. On some days all spend all day working on my Instagram and my Pinterest. Setting up scheduled posts. Then the next day, I spend all day drawing. Or I'll spend all day doing niche research for my employees. It's fun because every day is a little bit different. I'm still able to get a ton done.

# Being Overwhelmed Slows Us Down #
When we have long to do list, we often get overwhelmed. Instead of starting to get stuff done, the length of list sometimes scares us. And then we do less. If we feel that something is impossible sometimes we won't even try!

If I told you to climb a huge mountain, you might not do it. But if I had you climb 20 small boulders instead, you may do it. Even if the boulders added up to the same size of the is the mountain. It's all about keeping yourself relaxed. While stress in small amounts, can challenge us and help us. We often go beyond that; it's essential to find a nice balance.

# If You Finish Everything #
If you are completing everything repeatedly, start to make your list a  little bigger. Challenge yourself each day. But don't overload yourself! This will give you a great idea of how much you can accomplish in one day.  Keeping track of how much you can get done or what you can get done in a specific amount of time over and over again, will give you an accurate idea.
We don't have to overwork ourselves every day sometimes the best way to accomplish more is by doing less.

Have you tried something like this before?
