Doing all of you planning in one place is fairly standard advice.

I never took it. I felt weird about combining my work to-dos with my private life to-dos. I have the kind of job that I don't deal with once I am home, so I figured there was no need to smoosh things together. I could just leave my to-do list pad for work, at work. I was also motivated by fear. I guess I felt a little embarrassed if someone would look at my to-do list on my desk and see private to-dos.

I decided that was nonsense as I would not put things like "see my Dominatrix on Saturday" on any to-do list ( joke! ), nobody would be "peaking", and I was getting a proliferation of to-do notebooks. Home to-dos, work to-dos, positive habit setting to-dos, and a food diary.

It started to feel like logging was a chore in itself.....let alone planning.

Today, I decided to start over with just one big loose leaf paper sized pad, combing work, home, habits, and the food diary onto one "to-do" list for the day.

I have to say, I feel a lot less overwhelmed.

I also feel like I am looking at my day more holistically

I wish I would have tried this sooner.
