Well for a person that writes about time I cam up against one of the factors that we usually have no control. So I write to you to say “sorry”.
Now for the topic at hand:
After my last blog, I had a few phone calls and emails from several readers who seem to have a misunderstanding of what is a Daily To Do List.

So to quote Maria in the Sound of Music, “Let’s start at the very beginning”.


Here are Seven Tips on how to make the most of your Daily To Do List

TIP 1
Make an appointment with yourself to write your list at the end of the day, or the first thing in the morning.

This will further your ability to accomplish your tasks.

TIP 2
Never, Never, Never write your Daily To Do List on scraps of paper, the back of an envelope, your check register or on any other piece of scrap paper.

Get a small notebook, your list is important treat it that way

TIP 3
Keep your list simple and short.

Remember that your daily to do list is the 10 items or less line!

TIP 4

TIP 6
Remember the fun!

It’s ok to add some fun to do’s to the not so fun To Do’s!

TIP 7
What to do when you don’t finish your list at the end of the day?

If you don’t finish a task, don’t despair. If the task is important add it to the next day, but place it at the top and make sure that you do this item before you move on to the rest of your list.
