In the final episode of 2024, Dr. Christine Li delves into the concept of "lingering" tasks—those unfinished and often ignored items that persist on our to-do lists. Drawing inspiration from a recent business conference and a lovely experience with her Success Lab members, Dr. Li explores the emotional and practical reasons we let things linger and offers actionable strategies to tackle them. From identifying daunting tasks to recognizing when feelings are the barrier, she provides a roadmap to clear mental clutter and enter the New Year with clarity and relief. To aid listeners further, Dr. Li provides a worksheet available at maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/linger.
