Time to Take Action on those Niggles?

JT - It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen. John Wooden

A few years ago I started to notice the number of incomplete tasks I had as well as things that were broken or needed repairing. I ended up creating a niggle list.

Subsequently, today I wanted to share with you some ideas if it is time to take action on those niggles in your life (if you have any). In this post, I am going to share with you –

  • What is a Niggle List?, and
  • Why Have a Niggle List?

Let’s Get Started….

What is a Niggle List?

My simple definition of a “niggle list” is something that is niggling me. The longer definition of the niggle list is something that –

  • is incomplete,
  • could be bugging or worrying me,
  • needs fixing or mending (i.e. a broken handle on the door),
  • no longer works and needs to be disposed of (e.g. a microwave that broke 12 months ago – yes I really did have that in my home), or
  • would take little time to complete (i.e. under an hour).

The niggles can be any areas of your life. For example – your living space or living environment (i.e. your car, home or study) or your career/ business (e.g. an incomplete report or task at work).

Why Have a Niggle List?

The reason why I created a niggle list, was mainly because I noticed that all of those “niggles” were draining my energy and in small ways stressing me (well my thinking about them was). Yes – every time I thought about those things, took energy away from something that I could have been doing. By continuing completing and taking action towards my niggles, I now have greater time, clarity and energy and am continually moving towards creating my whole-hearted life.
