074: How to revolutionize your to-do list – with Anne Adametz

If you’re finding urgent tasks are starting to take over your entire life, might I offer a different way to look at it all? Take control, and revolutionize your to-do list…

According to today’s guest, it all starts from within. By taking a look at how we all get caught up in the chaos of ‘busy’, we are able to find peace and choose a better way.

Anne Adametz simplifies how to revolutionize your to-do list

In this episode, you will learn:

• What causes the tendency we have (as humans) to grip on to problems and create chaos in our lives
• A better ‘ultimate goal’ to aim for instead of the glorification of busy and how to get there
• How to achieve ‘flow state’ in your work and life
• How to find peace in the present moment vs. dwelling on the past or worrying about the future
• Her 3 simple steps to revolutionize your to-do list… It’s all about: Wake up, Reset, Align
  • Know who you are
  • Understand what your ultimate goal is
  • Schedule in time to align yourself, and bookend your practices daily

We go deep in this episode. Helping you to peel back the layers of your identity, we can truly see what drives you to do more, more, more. And then, you get to decide what comes next. What could you do less of? What are you ready to let go of? Stop chasing the ‘shoulds’ in life… “Oh, I should do this because so-and-so is doing this!”

Getting back to center in this way, can help you laser-focus in on the higher yielding tasks. These are the ones that’ll bring you the greatest return.

To get there, we need to do the inner work first. I hope this conversation today brings you peace and new insight into who you really are, deep down inside.
