To do lists are a big part of actually getting work done. I previously blogged about the workflow chart. It’s a great chart giving you information on what has been done, what needs to be done, etc, with just a glance at it.  But what about those daily to-dos. How do you organize those? Post it notes, that occasionally fly away? In your notebook that fills up with ideas? Maybe on the computer?

I used to write my daily tasks in a notebook. But throughout the day as things happen I’d continue to write down things that come up that need done. And, any ideas that were coming to mind. My to-do’s were getting lost in all of my want-to’s.  I needed a better set up. For me I’m much more successful when I write tasks down. And then, ya know, the satisfaction of crossing them off as you finish them. Don’t deny it, you love to cross things off! 😉  The Make It Happen Daily To-Do List came into full force!

I needed something that was designated to just things that needed done. Not ideas or notes, just tasks. And not just a blank paper that ended up having the longest list of things to do on it. That became overwhelming. Sometimes to the point of ignoring it. The Make It Happen list helps me focus. Taking 5 top, must do, things and making them a priority. Yet also listing out other things that needed done, but breaking them down. Seeing a few emails need sent or phone calls to be made that I can do in a minute if I have the chance. Listing out some errands to run if they come up. And a space for more to-do list items that need done but maybe aren’t a priority and must be done today. Print these out to have on hand. And then filling them out the day before. Yes the day before. At the end of our work day it’s fresh with what we haven’t finished or the next things to do. In the morning it takes us a little to get going. This way if it’s done the day before and you sit down for work you know exactly what to do and aren’t trying to think back to where you were or what was that one thing yesterday you thought of!
