You know that feeling when you’ve had a full day of doing things but your planner still looks like a crime scene of unchecked boxes and broken promises?

Yeah. Same.

Enter: the Ta-Da List.

It’s like a To-Do list, but for people with brains that jump between tabs, texts, and tiny humans asking for snacks every 12 minutes.

What is a Ta-Da List?

It’s a running list of what you actually did — not what you were supposed to do.

Things like:
👏🏼 Moved the laundry from washer to dryer (ta-da!)
👏🏼 Fed myself something that didn’t come in a crinkly bag (ta-da!)
👏🏼 Opened 12 tabs, but remembered what 3 of them were for (ta-da!)
👏🏼 Did not fight the squirrel in my brain about organizing the garage at 10am on a Tuesday (big TA-DA.)

Why use a Ta Da List?
It’s ADHD-friendly. It’s menopause-forgiving.
It’s “Look what I did do” instead of “Why can’t I finish anything?”

Why It Works 🥳
Because acknowledgment fuels momentum. 
Because the list in your head is a chaos tornado.
Because traditional productivity tools were built for linear brains — and you, my dear, are a spiral galaxy of brilliance.

Featuring: The Squirrel Squad 💥🐿
Let’s be honest, the real stars of your Ta-Da List are your distractions.

So let’s give the Squirrels of Distraction credit where it’s due:

Snacky: “Tried 4 different snacks to find the perfect brain fuel. Mission complete. TA-DA.” 🍿

Scrollina: “Accidentally found 2 genius ideas on Instagram between cat reels. TA-DA.” 📱

Organzilla: “Rearranged my desktop folders. Again. Still counts. TA-DA.” 📋

Wanderlust Wally: “Went outside for 12 minutes and remembered I’m a human being. TA-DA.” 🧭

How to Use It
1. Grab a notebook, whiteboard, or post-it wall of glory. 
2. Every time you do anything useful, write it down.
3. At the end of the day, review it like you're announcing Oscar nominations. 🏆

 📣 Bonus: Yell “TA-DA!” loudly for dramatic effect.

(Warning: If your family makes fun of you, hand them a marker and invite them to join. No one is above the Ta-Da.)
​
Final Royal Reminder 👑
🛑 You don’t need to do more.
🎖️ You need to recognize what you are doing.

The Ta-Da List is your brain’s proof that even when things feel messy, you’re still moving, creating, and showing up — your way.

So the next time your to-do list gives you the side-eye, flip the script.

Make your Ta-Da List.
Claim your crown. 
Celebrate the tiny wins. (Spoiler: they’re not that tiny.)
