Do You Work Your "To Do" Lists? PRIZES at stake!

[90PercentAttitude]

I just started to take some notes in a book I use for such things and the darn book fell open to an old "to do" list...

I am curious, based upon my own incomplete list, how many of you make lists, can find them, and work through checking everything off on the list before moving on?

If your approach isn't quite the model it should be, then how many 1/2 completed lists would you estimate you have lying around your house or office??

If you guys do a good job with this, (defined as 15+ posts or more) then there will be a prize for the most diligent list achiever as well as the poster child for incomplete lists!

Convince all of us that you should be declared the winner!

Lynn,

then how do you "Appear" to get things completed and on time? IE your Newsletters, keeping up with the forum and any other ventures that you currently manage?

I would be interested to hear your story. You say you have a list of things to do, does this list involve business "to do's" or personal "to do's"?
and if it is business to do's and you have them on the back burner and they have not affected your business management style in anyway to date then how important are these "to do lists" really?

Trust me I have my own set of lists, but I am usually pretty good at following them on a daily basis, what I haven't completed today I put off to the next day and just check of each list item as I complete them.

I would be interested in knowing how you make out and appear so together even in the midst of your turmoil, what is your secret?

I find to do lists helpful as it keeps me focused on what I should be doing. If I'm without my list I do tend to wander around and do the things I like doing but put off the neccessary tasks that I don't like to do as much.

I read a great suggestion that we should keep a list of small tasks that only take 5-10 minutes each - eg make a call, post an article etc. This way when we do have just a few spare minutes we can go right to the list and get something accomplished that we know will only take the few minutes.

I thought this was a great idea because usually when I only have a short time before another appointment I tend to use the excuse that I couldn't possibly get anything finished - therefore I waste the time instead of finishing a task that could bring me closer to my goals. Don't ask me if I've started my list yet!
