Every step along the pathway to clearing up unwanted and unnecessary stress is of absolute value. The Do-It-Now stuff simply has to be done. These are VITAL to your success and well-being. Remember that if one of these tasks can be complete in 1-2 minutes and you have 1-2 minutes at hand, take care of it now. It is such an empowering feeling to recognize a vital task, address it, and solve it. Voila! And even better is the swift crossing of this off the list with a wild, carefree line.
Other VITAL items require more time and so should be scheduled into your planner with the appropriate time allotment slotted, plus half that time again. Most VITAL tasks take more time than you are planning on so this way you have already planned ahead AND you can achieve success with this VITAL item. Another cross-out is coming your way.
IMPORTANT items need to be completed, but they are not immediately critical. Thus you have time to step back, study your schedule, and then jot them into the planner. The most valuable step in completing these items is when the appointed time arrives, just do it! Do not wait, move, table, or ho-hum it. Take care of it now.
So now comes two of the best, most invigorating stress relievers - TABLE it because it is just not that important; and even more fun - ELIMINATE it. On the latter, you probably did not want to do it in the first place and now you have the extreme pleasure of tossing it into a garbage forever! Hurray. This elimination process may happen with TABLEd items as well. If the tabling time arises and you have no desire to see it through - chuck it with crazy abandon and be done.
