I went to the market today for a specific task, but along the way, I remembered a couple of other pending things. Instead of postponing them, I decided to get them done right then and there.
As I checked off each one, I could feel a sense of ease settling in. It wasn’t just about finishing tasks; it was about freeing my mind from unnecessary weight.
By the time I was done, I realized how much lighter I felt. There was no lingering thought of “I’ll do it later” or the need to plan another visit. The market, which usually felt busy and chaotic, suddenly seemed calmer. The walk back felt different—more peaceful, less rushed.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest decisions that bring the most comfort. Wrapping up those extra tasks didn’t just clear my to-do list, it cleared space in my mind. And that, more than anything, made the entire trip feel effortless.
Yes, we often forget to combine tasks that should be done together as a norm. It is certainly convenient.
Smart work!
