Free Printable To-Do List and Tips to Being Productive, Not “Busy”

Tweet

Hey there hey! I’m here with a printable “Productive To Do List” to hopefully help life to run a bit smoother. My experience has shown me that planning ahead and having a list can increase productivity immensely thus freeing up more time for what’s most important in our life.

There’s a difference between being productive and being busy.

Being productive is defined as achieving or producing a significant amount or result.

Being busy is having a great deal to do or staying continuously occupied.

…and I will add that I think “being busy” is overrated!

Being busy is seriously overrated. Slow down and relax.

We can spend all our time doing something but that doesn’t always produce results. It can make us tired and take time away from things that may be more important.

Stop the GLORIFICATION of being busy.

More doesn’t necessarily mean better. And my new favorite quote…

HAPPY is the new busy.

Yes! So let’s focus on being PRODUCTIVE, not BUSY!

Five things that will help you produce a productive to do list:

  1. PLAN ahead.
  2. Only put items on your list to complete that are a priority and will produce positive results.
  3. Prioritize items 1-3 or a-b-c with one and a being most important.
  4. Complete highest priority first. Eliminate trivial tasks. (you may find some tasks unnecessary as you evaluate them.
  5. Don’t begin new task until current task is complete. Check it off and move on!

I hope this helps make tasks go much smoother and allows you to create extra time for YOU! My daughter is a productivity expert and she has helped me to improve my own productivity. Head over to her Blog and check it out. This post on productivity also has come great daily tips!

How was the first couple weeks of 2021? “They al How was the first couple weeks of 2021? “They always say time changes things but you actually have to change them yourself. “ -Andy Warhol  Yep! True that. If we want 2021 to be better we have to make the change. That’s why I’m spending this month (a little late) preparing for a great year. Got my planner working for me and I’m going to make some changes for the better. Who’s with me? My January calendar comes with the word print PREPARATION to help with the motivation. I also shared a message about this #ontheblog #inkhappidesigns
Do you have a word or words you’d like to focus Do you have a word or words you’d like to focus on for 2021? I haven’t picked mine yet but I like to have a focus word. I’m always a little behind in the game but I think this one word Wellness would work. Ironically that was my 2020 word. I started out the year so good. I lost 30 lbs and was on a healthier path and then Covid happened and some things went out the window.  But I still believe in having a focus word. I designed over 70 of these prints and I sell them for $1.00 each and I will customize one for $3.00. They are so popular in my shop. (shopinkhappi.com) Do you have a word for 2021 to focus on? Just curious if so what is it? I also have a list of 100 ideas for that one word #ontheblog. Link in bio #inkhappidesigns
Happy Christmas Eve! Here’s something to ponder Happy Christmas Eve! Here’s something to ponder on as we celebrate this holiday. Merry Christmas! May we find love and joy this holiday season. 💗🎄🌟⛄️🥳 #inkhappidesigns
These are my people and I'm so grateful for them! These are my people and I'm so grateful for them! I don't talk much about this but having an only child has been one ofn my hardest trials to endure. I would of loved to have more children and give my daughter siblings but it wasn't meant to be. That doesn't stop me from being so so grateful to be blessed with her in my life. She's been an exceptional child and has given me a son in law and two darling grand kids. I'm glad that she married into a family of 5 boys and a girl  and lots of in laws and nieces/nephews. One thing I've learned is that a family is a family no matter how big or small. These are the people I like to laugh with, share with, vacation with with and celebrate holidays and birthdays with. My people!
