The power is in the list

July 4, 2010 in Blogging

If there’s one thing I remind myself over and over: if you want to be more focused in your daily tasks, make a list.

Post-it notes covering a computer monitor

I’ve been mostly in bed for the past days but I’ve been quite productive with my special project because I’m following a list day after day. Whenever I make a list, I can focus my efforts on one thing at a time and compartmentalize myself.

Of course, this is still not a perfect approach as the internet can still be so distracting. But every time I do get sidetracked, I keep coming back to my list and I’m on track again.

I used to take notes on my phone and even those fancy organizers. I even got an ebook about list systems so I can learn more about organizing my tasks.

But I keep coming back to a plain list and a plain notebook. And it always works for me.

Sometimes it gets overwhelming to see all the things I have to do but whenever I get to cross out one task… that’s pleasure. :)

I take this as a good sign that I’ll have a productive week ahead.

Happy Sunday everyone!

What do you do to keep organized?
