On the Vitues of the TO DO List…
I would like to speak briefly on the virtue of the TO DO List. I admit, I previously was a skeptic and saw the to do list as another form of procrastination (much like blogging…), however I am now a convert. The TO DO list has changed my life. With a TO DO List I suddenly become a much more effectively operating individual! There is something in that physcological contracting of a task with yourself which compells you to compete a task and if an item is not completed that day a sense of genuine disappointment with yourself.
Tips on ‘TO DO Listing’ …. (yes I have just coined that as a verb
1. Write the TO DO list the night before so that you are active and efficient from the word go!
2. Always keep your tasks reasonable, if you put everything that you need to do for the next month on one to do list you will be very disappointed when you inevitably fail to complete the tasks, this is counter-productive!
3. Keep the TO DO List on you at all times, what good is a TO DO List if you can’t check it
4. Move straight onto the next task, no messing around!
5. Either have a box checking system or cross tasks off when completed for total TO DO List SATISFACTION!
