If you’ve ever felt like your to-do list goes on and on, I have a method for you, and it’s about to change the game.
Welcome to the world of the Place Mat Process – a manifesting technique that will make your daily tasks easier and more efficient!
The Place Mat process is about keeping your eyes on your goals while letting the Universe do the rest.
It’s about letting go of the worry and doubt that can keep you from manifesting your dreams and focusing on the positive energy to make it all happen.

Background of the Place Mat Process
So, let’s rewind a bit to where this all started.
The Place Mat Process was brought to life by Esther Hicks while being guided by her spiritual guide, Abraham Hicks.
Back in the day, when Esther was just starting business and juggling all kinds of business tasks, she sat at dinner one night, feeling stressed and overwhelmed with everything.
That’s when Abraham told her to take the butcher paper spread across their table, split it down the middle like a place mat, and use it to sort out her tasks.
And just like that, the Place Mat Process was born.
Benefits of the Place Mat Process
The Place Mat Process is a powerful tool to use when stress, anxiety, and overwhelm tend to pop up.
Here are some benefits of it:
- It can help you manage your tasks better and prioritize what needs to be done more effectively.
- It can help you focus on the most important and let go of the rest.
- As you accomplish tasks, you can tap into your creativity and imagination.
- You can ask for help from the Universe and trust that it will deliver.
- It can help you recognize when to take a break and relax.
- It helps you stay positive and keep your eyes on the end goal.
How Does The Place Mat Process Works
Alright now, let’s get into it.
Let me break down how the Place Mat Process works its magic. It’s super easy, and you only need a couple of sheets of paper and a pen.
Feel free to use a tablet or computer if you feel more comfortable using that.
I started using a specific journal for this process, making it easier to keep track of everything.
Step One – Brain Dump Your To-Do List
Kick things off by just letting it all out. Write down everything you need to do that’s swimming in your head.
This is like a brain dump, where you just let your thoughts flow without judgment.
I do this every morning to clear my head and help me focus on what I must do.
Step Two – Split Paper In Two
Grab another piece of paper and draw a line right down the middle. On the left side, write down: “Things I’m going to do today.”
On the right, write: “Things I’m leaving up to the Universe.”
Step Three – Sort out your Must-Dos and Wants
The next step is to identify two sets of tasks from your brain dump list to put on the left side of the paper.
The first set of tasks are your must-do tasks, which are any tasks that would throw a wrench in your day if they didn’t get done.
The next set of tasks are things that bring you joy. These are your feel-good tasks.
Take all of the tasks that fall under those two categories and put them on the left-hand side of the paper under “Things I’m going to do today.”
Step Four – Hand over the Rest
On the right-hand side of the paper, jot down everything else from your to-do list you didn’t put on the left.
Depending on how long your list is, this might take a minute, but trust me, it’s worth it.
This is you telling the Universe, “Hey, I need help with these things, but I don’t necessarily have to be the one doing them.”
You’re also making a pact with the Universe that you’ll take care of what you put on the left-hand side.
Last Step – Take Action
Once you have written everything out, it’s time to take action.
Focus on completing the task on the left-hand side, and let The Universe take care of the right-hand side.
The real power of this process is knowing that everything will get done, even if you’re not the one doing it all.
The Universe will find a way to help you out, and that’s something to be grateful for.
Pairing this method with other manifestation method
To maximize the effectiveness of this approach, consider pairing it with another manifestation technique.
One suggestion is to combine the Place Mat Process with a scripting method such as the 777 manifestation technique or the bay leaf manifestation method.
For the 777 method, select one of the tasks on the right-hand side of your paper to use for the technique.
Similarly, for the bay leaf manifestation technique, write down one of the tasks that appear on the Universe’s side.
Combining these methods can enhance the impact of your manifesting intentions and help them materialize more quickly.
Ready to give the Place Mat Process a try?
Now that you know how the Place Mat Process works, it’s your turn to implement it.
Choose one day this week and dedicate it to getting familiar with this process and seeing if it helps change things for you.
Grab some paper, split it in half, and just let it be whatever it needs to be.
The most important thing here is to trust that the Universe will take care of what doesn’t need your attention right now and focus on what’s in front of you.
Over time, you’ll see how this process can help lighten your load and make life more magical.
