To-do or not to do

These days it feels like my life is full of lists.

Shopping lists include shoes for bridesmaids, contact lenses, and car insurance, to name but a few. To-do lists range from ‘renew my passport’ to ‘make a seating plan’, from ‘call my sister’ to ‘call the registrar’ to ‘sort out my council tax’. And to-do lists at work never seem to get finished by 5pm!

What with everything going on my life at the moment, I feel sometimes like my mind is a motorway flyover at rush hour. The problem is, no matter how much I write things down, I keep hold of everything in my head. The result is… stress.

It takes me ages to admit that I might be stressed. And I know that it’s natural and this is a high pressure time in my life, so instead of panicking, I just need to know how to handle it. So I read this article… which was very helpful. Now I’m off to try to de-clutter my brain until it resembles a quiet country road on a sunny day. Then I’m going to do some serious relaxing, and not look at another list. Not until tomorrow, anyway.
