Juggling between work, family, hanging out with friends and other stuff can be very exhausting. At one point or another, every single one of us has wished for a 30+ hour day to get everything done. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to success on days like that lies in good organization. We need to determine which tasks need our immediate focus and effort and which can be postponed. Whether you\u2019re a CEO of a Fortune 500 company or a stay-at-home mom, in order to get something done you\u2019ll have to deal with high priority tasks first and leave the minor ones for later down the road. This applies to everyone, we need to prioritize. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do people manage this? Easy, by making a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To-Do list<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; in plain language, a list of tasks you intend to accomplish on any given day. A To-Do list is a great <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/archives\/7551-one-productivity-tool-challenge.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">productivity tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for organizing your daily activities. Unfortunately, not everyone uses their To-Do lists to the fullest. There are pitfalls that you need to be aware of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may seem that making a To-Do list is straightforward, but it isn\u2019t. Finding the right balance between menial chores and high-impact tasks can be tough. Not to mention how overwhelming going through a large list can be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At one point, you probably had trouble crossing out some of the entries on your list and stressed out more than you should. For this reason, we\u2019ve prepared 6 tips that will help you improve your To-Do list meet your daily goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Prepare It The Night Before<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have a tendency to plan out your daily tasks after you wake up? This wastes a ton of your energy and the day has barely even started yet. Many of us do this regularly and this is an important habit to break. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can accomplish this by planning ahead and writing your To-Do list the night before. Take a few minutes before you go to sleep and go through everything you need to do. This way, you can hit the ground running the next morning with a clear agenda in mind. A recent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctvnews.ca\/health\/writing-a-to-do-list-before-bedtime-could-help-with-better-sleep-1.3759536\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has even shown that prepping your list the night before can even help you sleep better to tackle your list the next day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No need to waste time in the morning figuring out what to do next. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Keep it simple<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7881 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Keep-It-Simple.png\" alt=\"Prioritizing To-Do list tasks\" width=\"263\" height=\"269\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crossing out ten or more things out of the list is not realistic. At least, not in a 24 hour day, and that\u2019s how much time we have. Not being able to get all your tasks done can seriously hinder your productivity and make you feel bad. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our advice &#8211; don\u2019t overdo it. Keep your list simple, no need to make it a mile-long list. Exclude the easy-to-complete tasks that require almost no effort &#8211; as we stated before prioritization is of the utmost importance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hence, if your list has more than five things on it, you\u2019re doing it wrong. Trim down your list to five most important tasks that will drive you closer to your goal and give it your best to check them off before the day ends. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tackle The Biggest Task First<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your productivity and energy levels are not consistent throughout the day and your list should reflect this. Be strategic. Don\u2019t waste your time and energy on low-impact tasks. Organize your list in such a way that the biggest and most important tasks are prioritized at the top and deal with them first before mowing down the list. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you determine what a \u201cbig and important\u201d task is? Ask yourself this: \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I get only one thing done today, what task will make me feel most accomplished<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d \u00a0Another way to go about it is to<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifehack.org\/463821\/if-youre-busy-but-still-find-your-hard-work-doesnt-pay-off-you-probably-lack-this-important-skill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">determine which tasks on your list are important versus those that are urgent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For sure, you might feel accomplished if you\u2019ve managed to take your clothes to the dry cleaner. Nonetheless, you\u2019ll agree it\u2019s a meaningless accomplishment compared to, let&#8217;s say making sure that your company meets an important deadline. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly, the latter bears more importance and has more impact on the bigger picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Use Technology<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Use-Technology.png\" alt=\"To-Do list mobile apps\" width=\"237\" height=\"294\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re that faithful pen &amp; paper type of person, it might be time to consider switching to a more feature-rich solution &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smartphone apps<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Yes, there is something satisfying in crossing off an entry from the To-Do list with a pen, but now, there are all sorts of apps that can take your task management to a whole new level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all, people are dependent on their mobile devices more than ever. \u00a0We always have them by our side, why not make the most of them? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s our round-up of To-Do list apps that will facilitate your agenda-completing tasks wherever you are: <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Todoist<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Free, Premium $31.99\/year) &#8211; Todoist is a productivity app that allows you to create tasks and organize them as per your liking on any device.

Apps are just the tools to use along the way. Our suggestion is to pick one app and stick with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Review &amp; Edit It<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We live in a fast-paced world and our priorities can change in a heartbeat. For instance, you might come to work with clear tasks you need to get done in your mind. But, this can change at any moment. One unpredictable occurrence is all it takes to disrupt your plans. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You shouldn\u2019t stick blindly to your list if a \u201cbigger\u201d matter emerges, requiring your immediate attention. Don\u2019t regard your daily schedule as set in stone.
