How do I use to-do list a mile long in a diffuser?

Add Thyme 2 · Spearmint 2 · Lemongrass 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of thyme?

Swap thyme for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use to-do list a mile long?

Best in the morning, early afternoon, or right after a nap; avoid using it close to bedtime.

To-do list a mile long · Thyme, Spearmint, Lemongrass blend

A to-do list longer than your arm. Thyme, spearmint and lemongrass split it evenly at two drops each, a warm, spicy herbal scent mixed with sweet coolness and lemony grass, clean and tidy like a freshly organized notebook. A small work corner tucked into your bedroom is where it shines. Tip: run the diffuser every time you cross off three tasks, a little reward for your nose.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

Skin irritant

Thyme and Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
