You can’t imagine the number of deadlines you would meet just by creating a to-do list. If you often feel overwhelmed with work, you are more likely to forget things that are important and must be done. People may have to chase you to get things done and that certainly makes you look bad and inefficient. If you are struggling to keep to deadlines, then you definitely need to start keeping a to-do list.
A to-do list is a list of tasks you need to complete or things that you want to do. You can organize them in order of priority, or write them on a piece of paper or post-it notes and keep them around you so you can frequently refer to them. You can also have them typed on your phones or ipad and set reminders or alarms on when you want to get them done.
Having a list of everything you need to do written or type down helps you not to forget important things. By prioritizing the tasks on the list, you get to plan the order in which you’re going to do them and can quickly see what needs your attention and what task you can leave until a little later.
Here are 3 ways a to-do list can work like magic for you
A to-do list acts as an external memory aid. It’s only possible to hold a few pieces of information at one time. Keep a to-do list and you’ll be able to keep track of things, rather than just a few of the tasks you need to do.
A to-do list allows you to prioritize the tasks that are more important. This means you don’t waste time on tasks that don’t require your immediate attention. Your list will help you stay FOCUSED on the tasks that are the most important.
A to-do list is a great motivational tool because you can use them to set achievable goals. You can divide your lists in monthly and break them down to weekly and daily. You can also divide your long-term goal into bits of short-term goals and as you tick each one off your list, your confidence increases and you become proud of yourself and your achievements.
