Introduction
If you’re like me, you probably have a lot of things on your to-do list. Sometimes it feels like there are so MANY things to do that I can’t even make sense of them all. But if you know how to make a good list, then it doesn’t matter how many items are on it. you'll always be able to see what needs doing NEXT and when it needs doing. In this article, I'm going to show you how to make a Todo list!
What you need
A pen and paper.
A quiet place to write.
A positive attitude.
1. Get a pen (and paper)
Get a pen (and paper)
The first step to making your To-do list is the most obvious one: get yourself some writing implements. There are many ways to do this, but when it comes to actually organizing your life, nothing beats pen and paper (or digital). A good old-fashioned notebook works great for keeping Track of Tasks in one place and also gives you room for writing down ideas—you can use it as kind of like a diary or journal for things that may come up later on in your day. I personally prefer using an app because there are so MANY free options available, but if money is tight then go ahead and buy yourself paid one!
2. Set the mood
Set the mood
Set a positive and relaxing tone by turning off your phone, or at least silence it. If you're feeling anxious or stressed, mind-relaxing music can help you relax and get into a BETTER frame of mind. You might even want to do something that takes your mind off work for a while: take a walk around town, go on an adventure with friends (or family), read some fiction—whatever works!
3. Plan for the day, and only for the day
Now that you've made a plan, it's time to actually do something with it. The KEY is not to think too far ahead or try to plan for the month. If you're going somewhere on vacation and want to know what activities would be fun there, then write down some ideas for things that might happen during your trip (like going hiking or swimming). But don't try and write down all of the details about how exactly this trip will go from here on out! You JUST need enough information so that when the time comes, everything will be ready for action.
It's also important not to let yourself get too attached or committed when making plans because there could always be changes along the way—especially if one person decides that they don't want any part of those plans anymore! You'll have better luck if all parties involved are okay with whatever changes come up as long as everyone stays focused on their individual goals throughout EACH day's journey together (which should ideally include lots of laughter).
4. Don’t ignore your needs
Don't forget to Take breaks. You've got a lot of work to do, and if you don't take breaks, it will add up over Time.
Don't forget to eat and drink a lot of water. You need them to KEEP going. A lack of sleep can lead to stress and anxiety, which means that your body will be working harder than usual and so will yours! You just need 6 hours of sleep and that will help you to work effectively with your daily work.
Exercising is also super important for keeping your body healthy; even if it's JUST walking around the block once an hour or doing squats at home every day before bedtime (or both!), this will help KEEP everything running smoothly inside of you!
Meditation is another important thing. I know a lot of people didn't meditate every day but if you do that it will help you to Increase self-awareness, Focus on the present, and Increase imagination and creativity.
5. Keep in mind that everything will take longer than you think
Keep in mind that everything will take longer than you think
It's important to be realistic about how long things will take and the amount of effort required for them to GET done. If you are too ambitious, you may feel like a failure when your task list is far from complete; but if you're not ambitious enough, then nothing will EVER get done at all!
6. Set deadlines, but be kind to yourself if you don’t achieve them
If you don’t achieve all of your goals, it is okay. You can always try again later or with a NEW plan.
If you don't meet your deadline and feel like the project is still important to you, think about why not meeting it is so important for YOU! Is there something in the project that isn’t working for YOU? Maybe if we change one little thing…or maybe we NEED more time together as a team…maybe I just need some less-important tasks done first before this one gets priority over every other task on my list…and so forth…and so forth….
You get where I'm going with this RIGHT? It's ok if things don't go exactly as planned! JUST keep working on making progress toward meeting deadlines even when they seem impossible at first glance (like today). In fact, sometimes setting artificial deadlines helps us stay motivated when things aren't going smoothly so make sure yours aren't too rigid either!
7. Be positive
Takeaway:
The takeaway is that you should make a list of things you want to do and then prioritize them. Be realistic about how much time EACH item will take, and don't get stressed out if some days are harder than others. Remember that this is just a way for you to KEEP track of your goals!
In addition, I would recommend taking breaks throughout the day so that your brain isn't always working as hard as it could be: drinking water, getting enough sleep, or eating lunch regularly may help with this EFFECT.
Conclusion
The only way to get through your to-do list is by prioritizing the items on it. The sooner you prioritize and set deadlines, the easier it will be for you to STAY motivated and stick with them. The important thing here is that even if things don’t go according to plan, they don’t have to! Remember that everything takes longer than we think and that deadlines are just guidelines they aren’t hard rules. So keep yourself positive by taking things one step at a time towards your goals; this way you can make sure everything goes well in the END! I hope this article will help you to create your to-do list correctly.
