EXPECTATIONS: Start by emptying your brain. Set a timer for 10 minutes, and in your journal, write down everything that’s on your mind. It can be anything from “Take dog to the groomers,” to “What to get Mom for her birthday,” to “Clean out the linen closet.” The idea is to empty your brain as completely as possible. Next, review what you wrote and categorize the items under three headings: Me: things that only I can do Someone else: things that could be handled by another person No one: things that don’t really need to be done at all
