The “Zeigarnik effect” - we tend to remember things we need to do rather than things we have already done. Plus, a list helps you not to multitask, and do one thing at a time, which we know is better for productivity and mental health too. That’s also good, especially when you tend to worry and get overwhelmed with multiple tasks. Grounds you to reality about how important is or isn’t the specific item. Or it may be more effective to deal with the easy stuff and get them over with before going on to the heavy-duty ones. Depending on the situation, we may need to start off with the hardest thing. That may not be the best course of action. When we are pressed to do things, we don’t necessarily start where we should.

Your thoughts seem random and tangled up? Probably you are also caught in a whirlwind of various feelings.
Somehow stating your dream in writing is the first step to make it ‘real” and start pursuing it. Even if they are in a very primitive stage, and you haven’t thought a specific course of action. Better yet, why not make a list of your dreams?Īllows you to keep track of your dreams. You make a list and that frees your mind to pursue your dreams.
