A long to-do list can set you up for failure, causing you to feel stressed and anxious at the end of the day when, inevitably, you're unable to check everything off. Josephine Atluri, a parenting and fertility mindfulness coach and host of the podcast Returning to Life, recommends that you instead "be mindful of your capacity to take things on," by listing only three things to accomplish each day. "If you have time to accomplish more, go for it," Atluri told POPSUGAR. "Listing three tasks sets you up for success and prevents overwhelm."
