I just not down everything I have to do and slowly and gradually I keep on marking all that I am done and entering new tasks
I try to include everything and highlight no more than 3 most important tasks. Everything else can be put off for the next day if I run out of time.
It’s detailed for the most part but I feel like I could make it more detailed to include every little task I have to do. I feel like this takes more time though when I could be spending that time doing the work
I think it depends on the nature of the task and on how much details can I remember by heart. However the more detailed the to-do list, the more effective guide it can be during taking the actual action but again, consider the time that you spend on detailing the lists/tasks ahead if it’s really that necessary. For some tasks I include more details, for other tasks one single word reminds me of what to do (work task vs. household task/shopping list).
On my to do list I write everything down what needs to be done soon as well as in the near future as well as one needs to be accomplished to finish such tasks
I do sometimes put in detail that I KNOW I will forget but if it’s stuff you think is irrelevant and/or know you won’t forget once you see that to-do, then you don’t necessarily need to put that there
I like to keep mine short and sort of just imply the task ahead rather than thoroughly describing it. However, it is best to put every single task you can think of to do, even if it is unlikely that you will do it. Then, pick three tasks to prioritize. Make sure those get done, and you will still feel productive. Leave the rest of the tasks for tomorrow or another day.
My to do list has evolved into a beast over time. It has my three top priorities for the days, one off tasks, and everything I need to do in my life that I can possibly think of.
I keep it short. I spend maybe a minute writing the list everyday. As long as I have the big picture in mind, I can put the minute details together during the day
I have a master to do list that helps me remember everything that I think of, then a daily list of things to focus on that day.
