The #holidayseason is hectic and there’s often no way around it. So how do you balance it while holding on to your #mentalhealth? Come with me on a 🧵 and let's follow the #Magic of the #checklist 👉 bit.ly/3G9UPcc 1/

We’ve always been taught to learn from the best. So why not simply borrow a trick from Santa’s bag 🎅😏 Before traveling around the world in 12 hours, he's making a #list and checking it twice. #Santa is the master of THE #checklist 🤌 #Productivity 2/

It all comes down to #neuroscience. If you felt the satisfaction of crossing a #task off, then you’re no stranger to the power of the #checklist. That’s because the #brain releases dopamine when you achieve your #goals 🧠 bit.ly/3WiDbsm #Productivity 3/

Not all checklist formats are created equal and #handwriting the list is often more effective than using an app. You are 42% more likely to achieve #goals that are written down, according to this study 👉 bit.ly/3divsp2 #Productivity 4/

If there’s a lot on your plate and not much time to tackle it all, don’t stress! Just reach for a notepad because #written thoughts are pure magic 🦄 bit.ly/3IuU1gh #Productivity 5/

Employees spend ~3h/day on #emails. Instead of this productivity-waster, carve out a few minutes in the morning to create your action plan. Being intentional about your #work routine will put you in the mindset for optimal #focus. More 👉 adobe.ly/3vdFOQl #Productivity 6/

When structured effectively, a #checklist also holds you accountable for when to do it. This format is called #timeblocking and helps you #focus on just one task until it’s finished, rather than #multitasking. More about this method 👉 bit.ly/3PIVBjD #Productivity 7/

Consider the #checklist a living document that you’ll review and adjust. The more organized you are, the less anxious, stressed out, or overwhelmed you’ll feel at #work 😄 Here's why 👉 bit.ly/3PJbmXL #Productivity 8/

If you’re under the pressure of #work and personal commitments during this #holidayseason, take a few deep breaths and reach for a pen to write down your #checklist.
Learn from #Santa, the master of all lists and enjoy a #Productivity boost 🤶🎅😋 9/

And when the #holidayseason is over, continue practicing this new #habit. You can thank me later 😋
My monthly series dedicated to improving #work #performance through small and unexpected #productivityhacks will come back next year with a bang 💥
