List Making, Procrastination and Prioritizing

 

Do you have notes and lists spread out all over your desk, in your car, your purse? Contain the chaos with a master activity list.

For the most part lists are important to have. For the most part they are the standard, ordinary, traditional to-do lists. And for most of us those lists become depressing. They start out with 10 things to do and by the end of the day you’ve hardly crossed anything off yet added five more things to the list. That does not give us any sense of progress. Instead of having a daily to-do list, you just need a log – a master activity list. Changing to this type of list is simply the decision to have all of your notes of things that you need and want to do listed all in one place. There is no priority order to it. It’s just a tracking mechanism. Having everything in one place will help your memory and recall abilities. When you are planning how to use your time you can see everything together and easily decide what needs to get done and what can get done. A master activity list is also a great tracking mechanism so you have a log of the things that you are asked to do and need to do. As you complete items  - check them off to get a feeling of completion and progress.
