I know that we all have to-do lists as long as our arms and it feels like our workload is never-ending, but we have to remember to not do it all at once. If you think about all the things you have to get done and when it has to get done, it might feel like it's all due on one day, but it's actually due on multiple days. When Rome was being built, they began with the clearing of the land and then the laying of the foundation. When you are figuring out what needs to get done, you are clearing the land and then you lay the foundation by writing everything down in a list.

When you think about the concept of building a building, you have to build the bottom floors first and then work your way up. If you start working on things that are far down your to-do list before you do things towards the top of the list, you are going to be struggling to do the things towards the top. You should put things that need to be done the soonest towards the top and then go down in chronological order. Imagine how weird a building would look if it was built from the top down, there wouldn't be any stability.
