How to create "To-Do-Lists"?

To-do-list-nothing1

There are those days, where we have to do a thousand things in one day and we don't know how we are going to get them all done. Anyway they may be difficult to keep in mind for a long time because the average person's short-term memory can only keep 7 pieces of information for about 30 seconds. If you have more than 7 tasks that you need to remember, you are already setup for failure.
To avoid this, people began to use To-Do-Lists and I am going to tell you, how to create one:

✓ First of all, you need to write down anything you can think of, that needs to be done in the next time, irrespective of whether its a work task, family task, home task etc…

✓ The next step is to group items together (like for example: home related, friends related)

✓ Then put them into the right priorization order, the most important things in the beginning and the less important ones in the end.

✓ Consider to take just things, which will get you towards what you want and to get rid of unimportant tasks, because they are only stealing time.

✓ What also has to be mentioned in a To-Do-List is the time you will probably need for each "work", so note it next to them, to have an approximate idea how long it will take you to finish.

✓ If you have finished something, go on and tick it or cross it off your list because so you will get a feeling of progress.

✓ The List has to be kept in a central place, where you see it all the time, so you can't be tempted to ignore it.

✓ Keep the To-Do-List updated and add tasks everytime you have new ones.

If you try it like that you will make progress for sure.

Have a nice evening!:)
