Create a Better To-Do List.

In the hopes of leading a more productive, organized life, we’ve gathered three essential ways to create a better to-do list:

You can have the advantages we bring to your marketing initiatives!

1.     Break Projects into More Manageable Tasks

The solution to the anxiety of dealing with a large, complex project or process is simply breaking down the project into smaller, actionable tasks and planning which one will be the next step toward completing the whole project.

For example, the next time you have to give a presentation, rather than thinking of the presentation as one exhausting task, begin by outlining different talking points and tackle each point one at a time.

2.     Tackle the Task You Hate First

Today this means that before we wade into checking email or distracting ourselves with social media, we can build momentum for the rest of the day and prevent ourselves from procrastinating by tackling the important stuff first.

Identify the tasks that are important and require your full mental capacities that you put off until the end of the day when your mental reserves are low.

Once you’ve identified those tasks, reorganize your routine so that you can work on them uninterrupted for the first hour of the day.

3.     Write a Done List

According to Joel Gascoigne, by writing a separate list of tasks you have accomplished, including ones that weren’t originally on your to-do list, you prevent yourself from feeling “knocked down” by the fact that you’re doing something not on your original list.

You can do this with a “Done” list on the right half of a legal pad sheet if you’re still analog or in a right column of a Word doc on your device screen.
