2. Set Limits

3. Set Limits

Ditch the running list. Never-ending lists
create a sense of failure.

Limit the number of list items. Max out
at 12.

Prioritize your items. Must, Should, Want
To

If big, go small. If you have a gargantuan
task to tackle, limit your daily list even more.

4. Digital or Old School?

5. Digital or Old School?

Should you keep your To Do list on an
app?

Should you go old school and use pen
and paper?

Explore both methods and use the one
that best fits your lifestyle. Perhaps it's
a combination of the two.

7. Create a List for Each
Day of the Week

Use a To Do list template. Try this free hard
copy template at A Pair of Pears.com. Or create one
using an organizational app, such as Cozi.

Allow yourself instant access. Make sure
you can view your list anywhere, anytime.

Keep it simple and flexible. Tip: A plastic
pocket protector turns a hard copy template into a dry
erase board that you can edit quickly and easily.

9. Create More Than One List

Separate Projects Need Separate Lists.
Use an organizational app to keep track of multiple
projects that are not time sensitive.

Avoid a freak out. Check your non-pressing
project lists from time-to-time. When an item gains
significance, move it to your Weekly To Do list..
