Martha Washington once said "Steady as a clock, busy as a bee, and cheerful as a cricket." This first lady may have been happy with hecticness, but it in a day and age of "everydayathons" many people are challenged to find peace.
Partially to blame for this lack of leisure is a phenomenon known as "contaminated time." Contaminated time pertains to an individual being overwhelmed by everything that they have to do. Such a situation forces their minds into a perpetual logistics mode.
If you feel as though you are running an "everydayathon," try "disinfecting" your time with a BRAIN DUMP every Monday Morning. By writing down every task on your mind from that moment to eternity, you can narrow in on the 7 most important. Focusing on only 7 points prevents your brain from entering an endless loop of fretting about forgetting to do something. In addition, by jotting down your to do's, your brain does not need to overexert itself to remember countless tasks and tidbits.
