Here are some tips to conquer those everyday tasks:
- Prioritize the tasks on your to-do list. Use “A” for items that have to be done today, “B” for items that should be done today, and “C” for items that could be done today. Work on getting the “A” and “B” items done first.
- Make a list of errands and group them together so that you leave your house only once and then return home once. Also, consider the location of your stops for easy organizing.
- Make doctor’s, dentist’s, or hair stylist’s appointments for first thing in the morning. Then schedule errands that are in close proximity to their location.
- Take all sticky notes, bits of paper or anything that has a note on it that is lying on your desk, is in your purse or wallet or on the counter top and using a spiral notebook, a binder with paper or a planner, either tape them down on the pages or re-write them. Now you have a master list of things to do. Keep your master list with you so you can update it regularly.
- Transfer one or two items each week from your master list to your calendar.
- Take 10 minutes at the end of your workday to plan and make tomorrow’s to-do list.
With small steps you can organize and accomplish your to-do list. What a great feeling!
