The 3:1 Passion Ratio

What if you felt passionate about your “to do” list? How would that change your day? You might be laughing right now at this idea, rationalizing in your mind how feeling passion for laundry, housework and running errands is impossible. I’m going to challenge you to put aside your old beliefs for a moment and consider a new paradigm. The 3:1 passion ratio states that for every three “want tos” in your life, you will have one “have to”. Let me explain.

Get out a piece of paper and write down all the tasks/activities you have to do this https://shakuryukou.com/
http://urzadzajzpasja.pl/week. Your list might look something like this:

I have to finish the laundry.
I have to go to work.
I have to go grocery shopping.
I have to pick up the dry cleaning.
I have to take the girls to dance lessons.
I have to make dinner.
I have to mop the floors.
I have to pay the bills.

Pay attention to your energy as you write down all these tasks. My guess is you feel a sense of obligation, a lack of energy and possibly a feeling of dread. The words “have to” indicate a low level of engagement in a task or activity. You are about 26-50% engaged, meaning you bring, at best, ½ of your energy to the task, maybe less.

Now turn your piece of paper over and write down all the tasks/activities you want to do this week. When I ask moms this question, typical answers I hear are:

§ I want to sleep.

§ I want to read a book.
