Does keeping a to do list help you ?_ In what way ?

Question

I find I need to have some kind of list or the most important things might get neglected. If I don't have a list,I have to much to remember, least I forget and I find myself kind of wasteing time trying to figure out what I need to be doing.
I would like to be more organized with it somehow. I love scratching off things done, but as you know there is always more to add.

Answer 1

Keeping lists is a good orginizational tool. But don't forget that you control the list......it does NOT control you.
If you get discouraged because your list keeps getting longer even though you are marking things off as they get done, try this.
Make several lists each one for a different category. One for MUST DO TODAY, one for MUST DO THIS WEEK, and one for SOMETIME SOON. Or make a list for HOME, one for WORK, one for LEISURE....and so on.
this way, each list will be shorter than if you have just one loooooong list and you will find it more encouraging to mark things off a short list than a long one.
Also revise your lists every week or so.....something that you thought last week just HAD to get done may have disappeared on its own after a few days. :-)
