Crazy Stats

70% of people use a to-do list to ensure that they get all their most important tasks done.

Learn to prioritize
Prioritization is one of the main strategies taught by self-help
professionals – and for good reason. By prioritizing your daily

tasks, you ensure that you spend your time where you should be:
that is, on tasks that are crucial and important. The most
important tasks should be at the top of your to-do list and come

before any other tasks that could stand to wait just a little bit
longer.

Maintain a clear focus
Before getting started on your to-do list, you should always sit

down and determine your main focus for the day. Figure out
what you want to achieve that day and which tasks need to get

done.

Complete some little tasks to build

confidence
We understand that when one of your most important tasks is

boring, dull, or difficult, it can be hard to get the motivation to do
it. But try to remember that this task is important for a reason

and feel free to offer a reward for yourself for completing the
task. Even adding a few small tasks and getting them out the way
can give us the confidence we accomplished something and we

can now chomp at and sustain through the more tedious and
arduous tasks. And make sure to take occasional brain breaks -

step away for a few minutes, set the atmosphere and jump back
into work!"
