My advice is threefold. First, accept that you will never, ever ‘complete’ your to-do list. Nature abhors a vacuum, so the moment you cross one thing off, another pops straight on. Give up trying to ‘win’, and you’ll see your to-do list for what it is — a helpful, organisational tool that is supposed to serve your life, not the other way round. It doesn’t have to be an albatross around your tired neck. You’re in charge.
