List what is in your control today

Write two columns: what you can influence, and what you cannot.

Why it helps

Worry often drains energy on things we cannot change. Separating the two may help you spend your effort where it counts.

How to do it

1. Draw a line down a page.
2. On the left list things you can influence; on the right those you cannot.
3. Circle one item on the left to act on today.

Make it easier

List only three things per column.

Make it harder

Write a one-line plan for each left-column item.
