Thanks Avani – That is my biggest weakness – turning my to do list in a wish list. And it sucks when you just never seem to get everything done. I will be taking your advice – keeping one day free to finish the list sounds like a great idea.

Oh I would be lost without my to do lists. What helps me most is writing mines down before I go to bed. That way I know what I’m going to do the next day. It’s easier for me to get up and be motivated to start the day.

Often times we have the to do list backwards though. It’s so important to first know what’s important to you, to have a definite purpose for your life and goals (like you mentioned in your previous post) and then make a to do list that will help you better reach your goals.

When I feel really overwhelmed I make a Done List, instead of a To Do List. Each thing I do gets put on it and as I do more I feel better and better. Jannie´s last blog post..Doris to register nine

Your "finish what you start" tip is excellent!! I find that when I don't complete a task, I have this lingering thought at the back of my mind of a half finished item. It continues to bug me until I can get it done! Evelyn Lim´s last blog post..My Vision Board Tops Amazon’s Bestseller List?

It is indeed very important to learn what exactly goes on the todo list. I have struggled with that more since having kids and working from home. The list is indispensable for me! Maya´s last blog post..Are you a storyteller? What is your story?

Hi Avani. Oh, I'd be so lost without a to-do list. I keep a small piece of paper nearby where I write down an idea every time I think of another project that needs to get done. I cross them off when they're complete and the next day I'll rewrite the list and as always there is something new to add. I've considered keeping the list on my computer. But it's not always convenient if the computer is not on when I get an idea. Davina´s last blog post..Video — Preparation Inspires Self-Confidence

Just wanted to say, great post, Avani! I just printed it out and stuck it on my bulletin board.

Keeping my household to do list accessible is important for my family. We actually have our family/household related to-dos hanging on the back of our front door (it’s not attractive, but we see several times a day).

Hi Avani: I find that when I leave an item on my to-do list half done it's because I should have split up the task into smaller pieces. Some people prefer to look at few items on their list but which involve lots of steps; I like to make my tasks as small as possible, even if it means a long to do list.
