Working a 'To Do List' Backwards

In view of a short R&R trip I am taking this later week, there was tons of work to complete by Wednesday evening.

Therefore, yesterday early morning, I wrote out my 'To Do List' of all the work I needed to complete by Wednesday.

I must admit it was daunting at first. I was overwhelmed.

But an idea struck me:

I started doing all the work which was due only on Wednesday and worked backwards.

To my amazement, by lunch time yesterday (Monday), I started to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

In fact by 3pm on Monday, all work for the entire week was complete!

I took the opportunity to spend some time conducting some housekeeping and even had time to spend on me Facebook!

I got it: next time when there's much to do with little time, work backwards!
