The benefits of making a 'Things to do' list.
Last Monday I had a real attack of the January blues. I started to feel overwhelmed by all the things that I have to do. Planning my wedding, starting my new business and work. It felt like I had frozen myself into doing nothing. Where do I start? I phoned my coaching mentor and heard myself starting to winge. She listened patiently for a while as she always does and then said have you got a 'To do list?' Eh well no actually!!! It's funny that when things feel a bit chaotic in your life you can forget the basics. To be honest I'm not a natural list maker but this has worked for me in the past and I knew it would be a simple yet effective solution to my current procrastion. The internet is a wonderful resource and I knew there would be a useful template on there somewhere. I found a great one on http://www.mindtools/. Its helps you to prioritise things on your to do list and is so simple to use. How to get things done. Organise your life with a 'things to do list'. I know that keeping a 'things to do list' will help you to organise your life better and I know that you will use it in the best way to suit you.

Always a good idea, those to-do lists. I have two for my work sitting on my computer desktop.I got them through Microsoft Works.
ReplyDeleteI have a master list by project and then a daily to do list that I have on my Ipad. I made a resolution to get more organized, so now I am taking the Ipad everywhere and every time I start to feel overwhelmed with tasks, I pull out the ipad and write down something on my list.
ReplyDeleteTo do lists are very helpful. I find that I get a lot more accomplished in a day if I have a list to refer to. I guess there is something about writing down what needs to be done, that helps me focus.
