The Joy List: Why Scheduling Happiness Is the Most Productive Thing You’ll Do All Week
Posted by Mareya Ibrahim-Jones on
We live in a world that glorifies the to-do list — meetings, deadlines, errands, repeat. But here’s a radical thought: what if your most productive list wasn’t about getting things done… but about feeling good while doing them?
Enter The Joy List.
It’s simple: instead of only scheduling tasks, you schedule joy. Write down 3–5 small things that make you feel genuinely happy — things that light you up from the inside. A walk with your dog. A coffee with that hilarious friend. Dancing in your kitchen. Or (our personal favorite) starting your morning with a smoothie sprinkled with Superfood Sprinkle, because who says wellness can’t taste amazing?
Here’s the thing: joy fuels productivity. When you prioritize moments that boost your energy and mood, you actually get more done — with less stress, more creativity, and a lot more sparkle. Neuroscience agrees: happiness increases focus, motivation, and resilience. So yes, laughing counts as self-improvement.
How to Make Your Joy List Work for You:
-
Keep it visible. Stick it on your fridge, your planner, or your desktop background.
-
Schedule it. Block off 15 minutes daily or an hour weekly — like you would for any important meeting.
-
Stack joy with routine. Pair a joyful moment with something you already do — like adding Superfood Sprinkle to your breakfast for a delicious, mood-boosting start.
Remember: joy isn’t a reward for finishing your list — it is the list.
This week, give yourself permission to schedule happiness, and watch how the rest of your life starts falling beautifully into place.
✨ Because productivity isn’t about doing more — it’s about feeling good while you do it.
