How can I get into the habit of writing a daily to-do list?

It comes naturally But I guess it depends on u as a person If u like to keep things in order and being able to track process and always check to make sure u have done everything then it won’t be and issue to make it a habit

I like to do it in the morning so I know what I have to do in that day and I also keep it short. Just the top 5 things I have to do

Purchasing a nice looking pen & paper helped me. I put them on to the table that’s right next to my bed and now each night before going to bed I just write my To Do’s for the upcoming day.

I hate to say this, but you just have to take 3 or maybe 5 minutes and jot it down. Put down your main tasks you need to do that day and be done. Most of us are so rushed in the morning. Get up 10 minutes early sit down and right it. I just stick mine in my pocket. Hope that helps.

I use a fresh notebook and label 4 columns: 1-entry date;2-entry;3-due date;4-done date. Entry date is the date you enter the entry; Entry is the description of the task/event etc.; Due date may or may not be entered although having one helps to prioritize; Done date is the date the entry is completed. In the morning I sit down at breakfast and take out my notebook. I prioritize around 3 entries based on due dates, urgency and time available for today. I highlight those entries (with a highlighter marker). These are my to-dos for today. I put a line through the entire line in the notebook as I complete the items (you should still be able to read the items after you put that single line through them; this is important because it feels great to look back and see all you’ve accomplished). Before bed I take the notebook out and think about what tasks, events, projects, etc might need to get done in the near or distant future and I enter them! That’s it! Have fun... ☺️

The easiest way to do it is once you’re having breakfast. Instead of watching TV or being on your phone you can pull out your planner and really have the time to think about what you want to accomplish for the day or the week. I atypically knock out my weeks schedule to pre-plan things I want to get done day by day. Then the day of I put my to do list down, throughly and also write what times I want things to get done. It sounds complex, but it’s a no-brained and actually a lot of fun (especially with coordinates) it feels rewarding to cross out my to do list day by day.

Have it close at hand. I put mine either next to my bed or in my kitchen table at night. That way, when I wake up and have breakfast I can write a todo whilst eating

I actually write mine the night before, so I can start each morning with a clear focus on what I need to achieve. I link it with other tasks (for me it’s to disconnect and drink tea) so that by doing one I’m automatically prompted to do the others. Plus I can check off 3 habits at once!!

In my case, I make my agenda part of my morning cup of coffee. I sit down with my favourite pen, my favourite cup, look out the window and open my agenda. It is a nice little window of calm before jumping into the day: I see what I didn’t finish yesterday and write what I most want to get done today. And I sip my coffee. Lovely!

I commute on the train so it’s something I think of once I get on. If i was driving in, I would make it part of my morning routine once I get to work (get coffee, check emails, write to-do)
