Healthy Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies
I constantly felt agony over how I was spending my time. Every single day I beat myself up for falling short. I was exhausted, irritable, constantly in a rush, I neglected my health, and I was overwhelmed. Every night I went to bed I promised myself I would do better the next day. The next day would come, I’d look at my to-do list, want to cry, and keep running on my hamster wheel.
I literally sucked the joy out of everything because of what I put on my to-do list. I had given myself such high expectations that were impossible to meet. So of course I was going to feel like a failure.
Toward the end of the summer I just about had a panic attack. I really leaned hard into prayer and I slowly started to hear ‘simplify.’ I had fooled myself into thinking more was better, I never thought of doing less. That sounded counterproductive.
Out of desperation, I cleared my to-do list and left one thing on it. I did that one thing and had more time then I knew what to do with! I quickly discovered that focusing on one thing, and doing it well, paid off way more than starting a whole bunch of things and scrambling to finish all of them. Scaling back my to-do list turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to managing my time!
As time went on, I started adding a few things back to my day that I knew for certain I could get done. I put the things on my list that absolutely have to get done that day, like appointments, then I realistically added things from there. Doing less has proven to accomplish so much more!
Fast forward a year, and I really have a great schedule now. It took a lot of trial, error, and discipline to get here (and I hired help)! It’s okay not to get everything done in one day, it’s better that way!
