So, what is a To-do list, actually? As the name signifies it's a list of things you need to do or get done. But as a professional tool, it systematically lists your tasks according to their priorities and keeps your comments recorded. The result is that those who keep and follow To-do lists are rarely at a loss for not delivering work in time. By noting down all your tasks in the To-do list, you ensure that you do not forget either priorities or duties.
To-do lists are one of the basic keys to efficiently managing work overloads. And it's tougher than it sounds to create proper To-do lists. Following are some tips on creating useful To-do lists:
- Note down all your tasks in one place
- Segregate or classify according type of work and priority.
- Reorganize the list now in ascending order of priorities
There are many free and paid software services that help you to get organized with To-do lists. Google facilities like Gmail and Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, etcetera have calendars and To-do lists as standard features. There are other online task management software like Todoist, Toodledo, Ta-Da Lists and Remember the Milk. Even the popular blogging platform Wordpress has plugins like Cleverness To-Do lists and other software for task management.
The main thing is that you need to get used to the software and then use them regularly by forming habits. Just try using To-do lists instead of keeping everything in your head, and you'll personally experience the advantages within weeks. To-do lists would not only help you get ahead in life, but will also help you to bring situations under control.
