4 days into my 3 steps life changing mind set.
Today it is 4 days since i wrote this post read here about how you can change your mind set to get control and lower your stress level.
Does it work???
Oh I can proudly say that it works on me and many of those around me notice the change:-)
What have i done?
*Wrote a list of special things that I need to do in the house (unfinished projects)
- Done 1 thing on that list everyday
-Changing counter-top on the bathroom sink
- adjusting the roof spot lights 24 spots
- cutting a hole to put in roof latter
- planting seeds for the garden
- cleaning my car
- Washing all the cushions on the sofa
- made agreements with people i need to finish other small jobs.
*Started to finish all i start
-When i make food, clean the kitchen straight away - Put things back where i found them
- If I see anything need to be done, i Do it straight away or put in my list (but no more then 9 projects on the list)
So what happens when i do this:-)
Well best of all my head is not spinning round and round.
My wife is smiling more
The list of unfinished projects is getting smaler
Our house looks better
I get less and less to do that hangs over me
I stress less.
Can I recommend this to others?

So now it's time for a coffee brake, then doing the next thing on my list.

Smart tips you got here.
Have to follow up on two of them
First, thank you mr @Everydaycoach for the advices presented and the quality of the content of your post.
There is an Arabic quote that says, "Do not postpone today's work to tomorrow, because tomorrow you will have other things to do".
In this way, we avoid several things: disorder, overload, the inability to complete certain operations or tasks, and many other aspects that may negatively impact our daily lives whether at home or at work.
Below two quotes related to the topic of your post which i find very useful, for the first reading, you can consider the two quotes as paradoxical, but by analyzing them we can confirm that they are complementary.
"Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today" Thomas Jefferson
Hi @aminekad
Thanks for your reply. Yes funny to see this two quotes and how they are paradoxical. But it all gives good meaning. Do what you need to do, but do not stress it. Be sure and clear of what you need to do, make a good plan and be sure to execute it properly- DO NOT STRESS, OR MAKE MISTAKES.
Thomas Jefferson has sad a lot of good life time mottoes that will help you have a life in order.
What an interesting post, our rule of thumb is do things that make you smile, career wise i've had a few transitions the latest being absolutely amazing, everyday is awesome.
HUGE fan of lists! Such an easy way to stay stress free because all of my tasks seem less daunting when they are on paper in front of me! I think this a great practice and there are millions of people that would benefit from trying this! :)
Follow and an upvote from me!
What a great husband you are! You know from my discovery, when a woman gets good support from her husband, she worries less and smiles more.
You have not only made yourself better with this attitude but your wife is also affected positively by it. That's the way it goes.
I just wish most men could actually take responsibility in assitisting their wives even if there are no kids yet.
African men especially have this mentality that their job is to put money on the table while the woman cooks and takes care of the house and kids. That's the worst mindset that puts women in a fix, and then u see them looking 10 years older in a short while after taking their vows.
If there's anything that kills a woman faster, it's unhappiness, stress and anxiety.
I personally do these things you talk about but I will take your advice and write them down instead of leaving them in my head.
I'll start to write down my list and God help me to actually get it all done in a day cos of my energy level(pregnant mom).
But in life, no excuse is worth it. If you actually want something done, just do it!
Thanks again for the post, I'm really encouraged and challenged. You are worth following!
