It’s first thing in the morning and it’s time to get that To-Do List on paper. Easy enough, right? While it seems to be a rather simple task, how you do it can effect whether or not you accomplish your goals for the day.
The process of creating a To-Do List is very simple. Write down all of the tasks that you need to complete over the course of the day. Be sure that you include large and small items. Break the large items down into smaller chunks to make it more manageable for your needs. Break down anything that takes longer than two hours to complete into smaller pieces for easier management.
You want to have everything listed on the sheet. Once you have that completed, you can then go back, reread your list and prioritize it. Use the number 1 for all items that are of high importance. Then, go back and mark those that are less important on a sliding scale from the number 1 to the number 20.
If you would like to, you can rewrite your list at that time to make all of the number 1′s at the top of your list. Do take the time to be sure that those things that you have placed at the top of your priority list are important to you. Otherwise, you could be simply procrastinating and pushing yourself further and further behind.
