Try this: A day without a to-do list
I stole this from a friend of mine. Pick one day a week where you have no agenda, no plans, no to-do list. Just do whatever you feel like doing. Could be going for a long bike ride or calling friends or (my personal favourite) lying on the couch with a book. If you truly feel like painting the porch, you can do it, but not because you feel like you have to, or because you said that’s what you would do this weekend.
It’s a refreshing feeling!
What happens when ask yourself “What do I really feel like doing right now?” instead of “What should I be doing right now?”
