How do you handle your todo lists?

I think it’s in my genes that I can stick to my to do list; I keep them next to me and check them frequently.. plus I’ve learned how to be responsible since I was a child as I took care of my little siblings and was there for them all the time (still I am).. I am a committed person 😁

I write my to do list everyday, but I don’t complete all the tasks even if it’s only 3 or even 2 task, how do you get yourself to complete every task on your list?

Well, first I find a good time to write my list, so I don’t feel rushed. Then I set a schedule according to the things I have to get done. But I always leave some time to also just relax instead of cramming everything I need to do in one day.

Being on ranch there’s always a massive to do list. Sometimes unimaginable. I handle my to do lists, prioritizing which needs to happen first - may change day to day and changes greatly depending on time of year. Start at top. Circle by today’s goals for to do. Cross out as done. Start from group list and make daily lists

I write them down and try to do the once I hate first and then the once I like. That way I handle gratification the right way

I always try to keep my goals in mind and what I am doing to reach them. My habits are essential to do so and feel me better. Also I try to hold my energy and willigness to succed the highest possible repeating my goals in my mind.

I handle it because it keeps me focused on what I should do its just something inside me that makes it like a challenge and of course I like wining challenges so it kind of encouroge me yiu can say and I dont like putting much stuff to do on myself then it will be hard so I take it easy and simple.

I love doing my list. This year I bought a blank dotted notebook and it makes all the difference. I have the chance to make my own week spread, decorate it and make it exciting to see and fill up. I really notice how my productivity raised since I started taking a special time for doing it. Love it!

I usually write the dates a few days ahead so that it encourages me to keep going with the exercise. I also include regular items every day such as "do dishes" and "have a shower" so that I will always be able to tick off something. I fill these in days in advance as well. Each evening I write in any appointments that I have the next day as well as the time so I am prepared for them Then on the day itself I spent 5-10 mins after I’ve had a shower (so after something has been achieved) and add in things I need/want to do that day taking into account the meetings I have already pencilled in.

To-Do lists can be triggering to me. It reminds me of a time in my life when I was very unhealthy and abusing prescription drugs. I would make to-do lists constantly but would hardly every accomplish the tasks on them. So now when writing my own, or even seeing someone else’s to-do list brings up feelings of failure and defeat. I will tell myself “you’re not actually going to get this done” as I am writing out a to-do list. Yesterday I actively challenged those negative thoughts. I made my list and then I did the two hardest things on the list first, the things I was dreading. It felt amazing to check those off the list. And they weren’t as bad as I had expected them to be. As you can see, I have a complicated, but hopeful, relationship with to-do lists!! They do help me to stay focused on my goals.
