To do list makes you feel busy and allergic to life.

Ever?

The longer the To-do list is written,

The more you feel that life doesn't catch up with yourself

I used to think that because I was lazy

But the latter began to know

The problem may not be ourselves.

We don't write just the work that needs to be done.

We write down the person who wants to be.

Want to be better

Want to be disciplined

Want to take good care of life

Finally, the list is longer than the power we actually have.

Can't do enough

I feel like I lost my life trying my best.

Now, try to change again.

Not asking, "What to do?"

"What's important enough today?"

Just a few things.

And leave the rest.

That's weird.

The job didn't disappear.

But the feeling of not being good enough... gradually disappeared instead. 🌿

... Read moreหลายคนรวมถึงผมเคยเจอปัญหาที่เขียน To-do list ยาวจนรู้สึกว่าชีวิตตามไม่ทันและเกิดความเครียดสะสม ซึ่งส่วนหนึ่งมาจากการใส่เป้าหมายและความคาดหวังเกี่ยวกับตัวเองลงไปในลิสต์งานด้วย เช่น อยากเป็นคนมีวินัย อยากเก่งขึ้น หรืออยากดูแลตัวเองให้ดีขึ้น ความคาดหวังนี้ทำให้ลิสต์ยาวเกินกว่าพลังงานที่เรามีจริง ๆ ผมจึงเริ่มเปลี่ยนมุมมองและวิธีการเขียน To-do list ใหม่ โดยไม่ใช่ว่าต้องทำอะไรทั้งหมดในวันนั้น แต่เปลี่ยนเป็นการถามตัวเองว่า "วันนี้อะไรสำคัญพอ" เพื่อโฟกัสกับงานที่สามารถทำให้เสร็จได้จริง ไม่กดดันตัวเองด้วยสิ่งที่ยังทำไม่ได้ การแยกลิสต์ออกเป็น 3 ส่วน คือ งานวันนี้ (Action), สิ่งที่อยากพัฒนา (Growth) และความฝันระยะยาว (Direction) ก็ช่วยให้มองเห็นภาพรวมของงานและเป้าหมายได้ชัดเจนขึ้น ตอนเย็นผมจะทบทวนว่า วันนี้ทำอะไรจบจริง ๆ บ้าง เพื่อสร้างความรู้สึกชนะเล็ก ๆ ในแต่ละวันแทนที่จะกังวลกับงานที่ยังเหลือ หรือรู้สึกแพ้ชีวิตตามที่เคยเป็นมา วิธีนี้ช่วยลดความรู้สึกไม่ดีพอและเพิ่มแรงจูงใจให้กับตัวเอง เป็นเทคนิคง่าย ๆ ที่ใครก็ทำได้และสัมผัสผลลัพธ์ได้จริง ขอให้ทุกคนลองปรับใช้ดูนะครับ แล้วคุณจะพบว่าการจัดการงานด้วย To-do List แบบใหม่สามารถช่วยให้ชีวิตเรามีความสุขขึ้น และรู้สึกควบคุมเวลาได้ดีขึ้นจริง ๆ
