Unlock the Secret to Getting Things Done: A Surprising To-Do List Strategy

Hello there, today I was thinking about my routines. For instance, let’s talk coffee. I know, that for my proper functioning I need a cup of coffee twice a day, which causes the obligation to empty a rinsing tray once a day and then follows a deep clean of entire coffee machine once a week. Like everyone on Earth I have a bunch of things I am making routinely. But there are the other, very small tasks that are neither time consuming nor need the fancy tools and could be easily done already yesterday, but usually are left for mmm, maybe tomorrow. Hence I developed the habit to make a list of such problem zones and keep on going until I fix them. So, in no particular order today let’s check my to-do list for maybe tomorrow.
I hope, you will enjoy watching!
xx Jolita

I thought we had got started, when we press play... and then stop and move away from cleaning as some strange therapy.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Sorry for inconvenience, I hope it didn't hit you too bad! 😀

[@SFFogWalker]

Regarding pillows, I love to chop if they sit at an angle (they look more intentional and neater to me). However, if they are laying straight, like they are on my bed, no chopping necessary.

Nothing like a cat to make a cosy home! And the birds would love that fur too😊

[@dianepedersen8651]

❤ kitty going in and out of the patio door, watching the bird, and getting brushed. In my next life, I want to be a house cat.

[@anamat5025]

Dear Jolita, your ordered, tidy spirit is all around. When I am not in the mood of cleaning, I watch one of your videos and all of a sudden, I want my home to look as neat as yours. Many thanks for sharing and inspiring! Love from Spain 💕🌷

[@adriiteach]

I love your sense of humor, Jolita! You always make me giggle.

[@linedallaire9631]

Hi Jolita 👋, I used to make list...but I just tackle something every day....before going to work, and coming back from work...I have the weekend to relax and enjoy 😉. Stay well my friend ❤.

[@carolweiss8795]

I usually don’t chop my pillows, I fluff. It looks more inviting to me. I love making lists and checking things off. I have one for every room in my house and they’re always evolving. Your comment about the turpentine smelling like an old tractor had me laughing out loud. Love your videos! You should do an Amazon storefront so we too can purchase all your household goodies!

[@Dollcan]

I’m all about the lists. Time to add oiling my cutting board to my list

[@eijav123]

great new pillows ❤

[@wendyduncan9084]

I adore lists. Projects, chores, healthy habits. Whatever I’m forgetting gets made into a list. I just fluff my pillows. No chopping here to I do the fluffing. Thank you for sharing your day with us. Getting those nagging things done feels so good.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Me too, Wendy! I like to write everything done for keep on track. And I am so relieved, almost nobody likes chopped pillows!

[@cristinafrancisco6773]

I like chopped pillows 😌every night before going to bed I like to shake, fluff and chop the pillows in the living room. It is a habit that I have been doing for many years and in the morning I enjoy seeing the tidy pillows. I’m a list maker at work and less at home. Your videos are a pleasure to watch.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Thank you, dear Cristina! I like to chop the chushions more for stress relief than the look, haha, but me too, I am fluffing the pillows before going to sleep, just like you, I love to find tidy room in the morning!

[@jessicay1942]

I love your channel! Thank you for sharing.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Thank you, Jessica, glad you enjoy it!

[@MariaMartinez-cn8bj]

Gracias jolita tus videos son mi terapia me encantan tus uñas se miran espectaculor Rojas 💅🏻besos a tu gatito 🐾🐾😘

[@lauraellen189]

Your home is lovely!! I have always been a lust writer. I write grocery lists, to do lists, cleaning lists, etc. It helps keep me somewhat organized. 😊

[@JolitaBartkus]

Aww, thank you Laura! Yes, Me too, I am also a list person just like you, scribbling all the time!

[@lauraellen189]

@Jolita Bartkus I meant to ask if your name is pronounced with a 'j' sound or a 'y' sound. Just curious. I like to pronounce names correctly.

[@JolitaBartkus]

@@lauraellen189 you're right, it's Y sound, "L" is soft and the accent is on "A". 🙂

[@lauraellen189]

@@JolitaBartkus it is a beautiful name ❣️

[@ExLibris-Alys]

“Smells like an old tractor” 😂 you always make me laugh Jolita. I love your new cushion covers, they go so well with your sofa. I’m definitely a no-chop person, I think fluffed-up cushions look less contrived tbh. The cook book stand to chopping board holder is such a good idea 👍🏻💐

[@K_B_H_]

Pillow trick is to buy covers that are 1 size smaller than your pillows. They will look very full. I have to have a to do list or nothing gets done.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Thank you, K H! How I could forget it?! Me too, just like you, a total list maker.

[@CocoB22]

I love your channel and eagerly wait for each new video. Today, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I have a bunch of chores like the ones in this video. So I decided this morning to just sit down and make a list. As I had some tea left from breakfast I decided to check KZbin and there you were. The timing was perfect. I hate chopped pillows too. Pillows should be inviting and the chops make them look too harsh. Your pajamas are beautiful- where’re are they from if I could be so rudely nosy.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Thank you, Coco B! Wow, sometimes the Universe is preparing smashing coincidences! 😀 The look of chopped pillows are also not my cup of tea, but I like the feeling that I get smacking them, haha! The pyjamas are french, Le Chat, here is the link: www.lingerielechat.com/fr/pyjama-boutonne-en-viscose-tiffany-406-multico-3240.html

[@CocoB22]

Well if the chop relieves stress then by all means, chop away. Thank you so much for the link. I’m going there now.

[@sarikatri2730]

Thank you for the useful tips. Lovely to see your Marimekko pillowcases.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Thank you too, Sari! I am in LOVE with Marimekko! 🤩

[@SFFogWalker]

Jolita, once again you have helped me tremendously. I make many lists for work and food/other shopping, but I do not make a list of household chores. Rather, I create stress by noting the task in my head, but when I have a little time, I don't recall the tasks easily. Therefore I am going to start making a list household chores, as I find them, because not only will it relieve me from the stress of keeping it bottled up inside me, but at any given moment, the list will be there for me to review. Finally thank you for sharing your fluff. I too have a fluff and she is my fur baby who gets pampered daily.

[@Ieva-lf4yo]

so many beautiful tips!

[@JolitaBartkus]

Ačiū labai, Ieva! *Katė 😀

[@annecarter5181]

Really don’t like “chopped” pillows. Those pointy “ears” are scary!!!! Whoever started that??!!

[@JolitaBartkus]

You made me laug, Anne! True, the pointy ears! :D

[@patriciadejesus4051]

I'm always doing lists! The bigger jobs are still pending. Thanks for sharing!

[@beakay8700]

I’m about to tackle my maybe tomorrow list that, by now, is more like a maybe next month list because I’ve not had enough time. But, after some coffee, I will finally tackle it. Thank you for the motivation 🌷

[@dianepedersen8651]

I used to write lists on whatever notepad was nearest. Too many lists. Now I write a daily list in my planner or in Notes on my iPhone.

[@dianepocock2982]

Perfect timing. I have just written my own list of tomorrow's tasks and then I found your video. Excellent, as always . Thank you 😊

[@JolitaBartkus]

Glad it was helpful! I wish you a productive day tomorrow!! 🤗

[@annag1202]

So great to see you Jolita and thank you for some much needed inspiration and tips, I’ve been so unmotivated this Winter and my “do it tomorrow” list is enormous 😬 Loving your new cushion covers, I adore Marimekko designs. I don’t personally chop my cushions but I think either way looks lovely. Have a great week and I will definitely start working on my list tomorrow. Warmest wishes from the U.K. always 💕🇬🇧

[@catherineden5005]

love the idea of cookbook holder utilise as a chopping board stand.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Thank you, Catherine!

[@joanfreestone1707]

Hello Jolita. You make me feel as though I should get busy and do some housework although I do certain tasks on certain days so that nothing piles up. "Chopped" pillows are not something we really see here in Australia. I've only seen them on European t.v. programmes. I love to see your beautiful furry friend. Thank you for another video full of tips.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Thank you, Joan! Yes, I might sound annoying, haha! How funny, I would say the same about seeing chopped pilows from somebody in US America only. None of my friends is doing this neither me like the look, but I looove the feeling when smacking them 😀

[@nomusanzama]

I struggle to keep up with my entrance station... You just reminded me to get it sorted😘

[@JolitaBartkus]

Yay, Nomusa! Glad I could help! 😘

[@andeebee2530]

I’m not particularly fond of chopped pillows but I do like to do the chopping 😁It’s fun. I really like your new cushion covers. Oh and I didn’t know about oiling the board, I’m going to do that.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Mee too, Andee! I hate the look of chopped pillows, but looove smacking them just for fun 😄 You're welcome with bord oiling!

[@kittycatmuller3588]

Hi Jolita. Gutes Thema, ich kann ohne die Erinnerungen auf meinem Handy nicht leben, Listen für wirklich alles. 😆 Niemals würde ich Kissen mit Öhrchen versehen, sie bleiben bei mir ganz natürlich. Katze hat also eine eigene Vogelbeobachtung … Wie wäre es mit einem Video über Nagellack? Hier tummelt sich einiges an essie. Liebe Grüße ☀️

[@momogumi8629]

I do have a to do list but the problem is the list was written last summer and it keeps getting longer😅 Love your Marimekko cushion covers! They look nice with your sofa❤

[@JolitaBartkus]

Hi dear Momogumi! It seems, your list is not ripe yet, haha! I love the naivety of Marimekko, it's so pretty 🤩

[@orangecorner0826]

cute cat you have

[@1whitecottagelife770]

Wood kitchen utensils and cutting boards are supposed to be oiled with mineral oil, coconut oil or olive oil get rancid, mineral oil is food safe.

[@JolitaBartkus]

You are absolutely right about the olive oil, but it's totally safe to use the coconut oil for utensils.

[@Mialuvsveggies]

I cut new Magic Erasers in half to extend the product.

[@JolitaBartkus]

Great idea! Thanks Emilia!

[@iriswelch3553]

I love lists! (Note - add oil cutting boards to my list!)

[@JolitaBartkus]

Me too, Iris!

[@brunhildekaiser8954]

Hallo Jolita, deine Marimekko Kissen sind wunderschön. Viele Grüße aus München

[@JolitaBartkus]

Lieben Dank Brunhilde! Marimekko ist einer meiner lieblings Designes.

[@1whitecottagelife770]

I love your pajamas! What brand are they?

[@JolitaBartkus]

Haha, thanks! It's French label Le Chat, not sure whether they still have this exact print: www.lingerielechat.com/fr/883-lingerie-de-nuit

[@Eeeekamouse]

No chop! 😂

[@JolitaBartkus]

Agree agree! 😀
