I have been told that, in order to become a successful blogger, you must have an engaging subject…so, how about this?

Last week I read an article written by Kimberly Medlock, creator of the Smarter Productivity Tips Series (www.kimberlymedlock.com). In that article, I happened on Tip #23, “letting go of your to do items”, where she asks a series of questions with three points in mind:
- Does doing this directly contribute to my main goals/objectives?
- Is this on my list because I am a control-freak or perfectionist?
- Am I doing this just to “out-do” or impress someone else?
This had me thinking, what are the consequences of having too many “to do’s” in your life?
Would anyone actually notice if you deleted items or passed them off to others to complete? Would your mental health improve if you put them on the back burner? I think at some point we need to decide whether these things should stay or go. We’re so overwhelmed with busy work, that the art of building meaningful relationships has become lost. This article makes a good point “have a goal”. Look at your to do list and take something off. The world won’t end!
