I also have had the same feeling. Nowadays, I am ruthless in transferring things to someday/maybe list. This has helped me, not to bite off more than I can chew and thereby can keep the stress at acceptable levels.
Hey guys. How do I stop feeling stressed over the fact that there is something in the system that needs to be done?
Do the Weekly Review.Hey guys. How do I stop feeling stressed over the fact that there is something in the system that needs to be done?

And they still aren't at zero then, they are just no longer your lists but your heirs' lists.Get comfortable with the idea that your lists won't be down to zero until the day you die.
Exactly!And they still aren't at zero then, they are just no longer your lists but your heirs' lists.
"Fortunately" many items on these lists become meaningless...And they still aren't at zero then, they are just no longer your lists but your heirs' lists.
I guess it depends. When I inherited the farm and the lists that came with it from my mom they all were still relevant and had to get added to my own lists."Fortunately" many items on these lists become meaningless...
Yes, I agree. If you want to continue Projects, you inherit them. But it's your choice - you can abandon them. And some obligations and commitments cease to exist.I guess it depends.

1. You can continue to work on an inherited farm or sell it. It's your choice.Not many on a farm. The same things have to be done as long as it's a working farm no matter who the current caretaker is.
True, but the farm projects don't really go away. In most cases the new owner will still have to do them. If the former owner can provide some of the help it can make the projects go faster. My mom got projects and info from the folks we bought the farm from and I in turn got projects and info from her files. I fully expect to leave project plans and info to the next caretaker. Some things don't really change much and need tending over multiple lifetimes.1. You can continue to work on an inherited farm or sell it. It's your choice.
