Do you make your To Do lists in order of importance, what will be the easiest to accomplish, or how else?

My To-Fo list is quite organic – I sit in the morning and write the jobs down for the day. I might prioritise them or I might just work through the list…

I write my to do list first as a brainstorming. I don’t think about importance or anything else, just what i need to do. Then once i know what i need to do, i start to think about importance and start assigning time such that the most important has the morning time. I continue to assign time to the task list until the duration for my work time finish. The rest if still important i assign one time slot for home. The rest has to go for tomorrow list.

I set out a daily timetable. I suppose I do need to start looking at my own term plan the same as I would give my students. What are we going to achieve in the next 12 months, the next three months, and then do my daily plan.

Hi there! What I normally do is write down everything outstanding in no particular order. Just as it comes to mind. Then I use the A/B/C method to prioritize by asking myself how it stands in helping me meet my one big long term goal. I also take time into consideration. If I have an item on the list that’s an overall lower priority but is due today or soon, I raise the priority and set a time to have it done by.

When I write my to do I don’t specifically in any order. I just write as they come to my mind. Then when I deal with them I make a mental prioritise and start with that. I draw a little square at the beginning of each task sentence and once I finish that task I put a check mark in it. It makes me happy to see how much I accomplished 🙂

I like to keep a running list, adding things in the order they come up. I then schedule my tasks across my week and check them off as I go. I recommend GTD by David Allen – this book REALLY helped streamline my productivity and organization.

Starting out with no, I write my to do list as things pop up into my head as I go about writing it. Too many random things pop into my head on different days as I am writing them to do it in order of importance. The fact that it is on the list at all makes it important in its own way!

The most important so I won’t forget it. After writing it on Fabulous I transfer it to my Journal and writing it down again helps me focus so I keep it in front of me and start prepping for the activity.

If I have “must do” tasks that I’m worried about I try to list them first. Otherwise, easy things go first to build momentum.

I work chronologically. As a visual person I find it works well for me if I work in pencil or on a whiteboard. That way I can reorganize, add, or remove items more easily.
