I have two different lists. One for my personal tasks, another for professional tasks. I check the first one all day long, the second only when I’m at work.

Mainly professional with two or three personal self care moments. I do this to keep focus on my responsibilities whilst having self care feel necessary as well.

No I just write my to do’s for the next day, for example, if I had to do something the next day I’d write it down so I won’t forget what I had to do 💛🌻✨

I actually struggle with my to do lists. So far I had a separate notebook for work, and I’d dumpy everything I need to get done once or twice a week on a large to do list and run with that. I usually need some quiet time to get my work thoughts together and set work goals for me and my team. And I’m struggling with personal to do lists because I’m trying to go small and achievable just to get into the habit, and these tiny to do’s don’t seem like they are worth the paper wasted on them. .. not sure if this helps. Maybe I’ll try dumping all my tasks in one pile and see how I go from there

I write my personal and professional down on the same list! One thing I use to do was prioritize them by color; red, orange and yellow. Red being urgent aka get done NOW and yellow being needs to be done but I can do that once everything that is more important is done

No. I like to limit my use of my phone in this process so I have a separate journal for my personal and professional goals.

I have a variety of task categories that are manage by priority and genre, for example Some for health, some professional development thers for finances and etc. Notion is a good tool to use to organize and structure your thoughts/ideas

I write about both. When I am making my to do list for the day, I think of all the things I want accomplished. I write about professional tasks that need it get done like attends a meeting or class, but I also right about personal things. For example, after about an hour or so of working, I have it scheduled to take 5 minutes to do a desk yoga where you stretch out your arms, legs, neck, and back. I also will schedule a time to take a break, go on my phone for a couple minutes, or to meditate. For your to do list, you need to have self care items on there because they are something that you need to do, and they should not be ignored, but that doesn’t mean you have to change any professional things you have on your to do list.

I write both. Anything pertaining to me that day I write. I use different colours for appointments/health related tasks =blue. Green for social tasks and pink for regular everyday tasks. Then I take notes on the day (brief description of key moments) in black.

I keep separate lists for personal and professional tasks. I’m not working currently but I would normally keep tasks separate.
