Just as we change our wardrobe from season to season, our task lists need regular “closet swaps.” Leaving stale items in place invites stagnation.
When Tasks Feel Stale
Tasks you keep postponing can fall into two groups: items that no longer matter and items that still matter but have lost their spark. Treat them differently.
How to “Change Seasons” on Your List
- Archive tasks that have lost their relevance.
- Rewrite important tasks in fresh language so they feel new.
- Add a trigger—time, place, or people—to make the next action unmistakable.
Think of it as airing out your schedule. A small rewrite can restore motivation.
If your list is cluttered with “someday” tasks, we can help you sort, rewrite, and relaunch them.
