     463: The Checklist Challenge Part 2

Questions with Kathi and Kelly

Kathi is here with her friend Kelly Wilbanks, who takes your great questions and brings them to Kathi to come up with the answers about all things clutter free. Today, they are continuing the discussion about Kathi’s best hacks and how to get things done in a short amount of time. It’s common to get overwhelmed very quickly. Kathi’s solution is all about the Checklist Challenge. The problem with most checklists is that many items on them tend to be way too far-reaching and contribute to overwhelm. Take Kathi’s advice and don’t participate in abuse of the checklist. Instead, tune in to find out how you can thrive with a checklist by:

 

  • Breaking it down
  • Imagining the space before you start
  • Pre-deciding
  • Curating & not settling for second best

  • Resting but not quitting
  • Getting involved with the CFA FB group
