Expert Says Minnesotans Who Are Overwhelmed Should Try This

You'd think that being highly-organized would lessen your worries. After all, knowing when an event is and where things are means there are less things to worry about...right?

Welp, having a well-organized life isn't just about knowing what to do, and when. *surprised Pikachu face*

Make a To-Don't List For Your Well-Being

While a to-do list can keep you on task, a to-don't list is meant to help you declutter your well-being.

De-what your huh?

Examples of to-don't items:

• Don't skip lunch to keep working
• Don't schedule meetings between 8am and 11am
• Don't commit to too many social engagements
• Don't sit in one place for over an hour
• Don't forget to look away from the computer to rest your eyes
• Don't drink too much coffee

A to-don't list is not meant to be made everyday; it's a list to check in on to remind yourself of what NOT to do, and perhaps to add to.

If you can cutdown on or eliminate non-essential things that are taking up too much of your time and joy, your overall well-being will have room to breathe.

Or just invest heavily in bubble wrap.

I already avoid so many things that my to-don't list isn't all that big. Or maybe it's because my internal to-don't list is stacked.
