This will give you a quick visual on what need your attention right away.

• Review your list every morning. Consult your list at the start of the day so that you can better prioritize your time.

• Cross items off the list when they are complete. There’s nothing more satisfying than looking down at your To-Do list and seeing all the important things you have accomplished CROSSED OFF. It’s a real motivator!

• Don’t mix lists! Keep one list for your work-related tasks and a different To-Do list for home-related projects.
