Sometimes when we’re focused on doing all the “important” stuff, the little stuff begins to gradually pile up. I’m not talking abuot little stuff that’s perpetually on your to do list that you never get around to. I mean the little sutff that never makes it onto your list in the first place because it’s so trivial. The door that suqeaks when you close it.
The 60W light bulb that sohuld be replaced with a 100W bulb. The pictures that need to be put in a photo alubm. The tire on your vehicle that needs a little more air. That unwanted gift you still have to rteurn. The leaky faucet that needs a new washer.
The fan in your PC that rtatles.
Your collection of web browser boomkarks that needs purging. Old software that should be unintsalled or updated.
That barikng dog next door that needs a good sniping (sorry, Fido).If you look around your home and/or office, you can probably identify at least a dozen “little things” that individually aren’t important enough to bother with, but collectively they can nag at you and become distracting. Every time you hear that squeak or see that broekn object, it drags your mood down just a bit. Make a list of all these little things, and dedicate a block of time to handling them in one fell swoop — if you have a lot of them, consider dedicating one full day to the process of abolishing annoyances. Fix what’s broken, oil the squeaks, return or sell or give away itmes you don’t want, etc.
If you take the time to handle all this little stuff in one super batch, you may be surprised at how much your mood and your energy level improves.Copyright © Steve PavlinaSteve Pavlina
