December is often packed with deadlines, events, shopping, and lists, which can lead to stress and strain on time management, routines, health and relationships.
“To do” lists help prioritise tasks, improve organisation, and support effective time management. They boost motivation, enhance the likelihood of finishing important jobs, and contribute to greater satisfaction.
Relying too much on lists can cause people to overlook what matters most to many: relationships. When someone is absorbed in their task list and trying to get things done, interruptions from others may feel unimportant. Focusing only on tasks and not relationships can lead to feelings of regret, guilt, or disappointment.
Combining structure with adaptability can boost your sense of fulfillment. If you usually concentrate on making lists when you’re busy but want to put people first, try adding daily time with loved ones to your priority list until it naturally becomes part of your routine.
