Make your to-do list doable – Part Two

• Keep your list short. Keep you to-do list less than 20 items. Remember, your to-do list isn’t a dumping ground for “Someday I’d like to” items. Your to-do list should be short, to-the-point commitments.

• Prioritize your tasks. Although your to-do list only has 20 items on it, the reality is that you are only going to get a couple done per day. Make sure that those tasks are at the top of your list.

• Purge and update your list weekly. In addition to sorting by priority, you can sort your list by age. What items have been on your list the longest? Chances are these items need to be reworded or broken down further. Or perhaps they don’t need to get done at all. Rewrite the items that aren’t broken down as much as possible, and purge irrelevant items.

• Log your completed tasks. Make sure you give yourself credit for accomplishing something on your list. This is as important as writing the to-do list!

I hope you all get as much pleasure writing to-do lists as I do!

Happy "crossing off!!"

Organization can be FUN!
