You try again tomorrow and think of ways to use your time more efficiently to complete them. If there are too many tasks and it’s overwhelming, reduce them. You’re trying to build habits not make a to-do list.
I usually “transfer” them to the next day (by drawing an arrow under the task pointing towards the next days to do list
Add the missed task(s) to the next day.
It’ll depend on the task, if I can pass it to the next the I do it with an increased priority, if I can’t do it I do an analysis about when I can continue that task
I do them the next day, if possible. I guess you just have to pick the tasks that need doing the most and get those done and then do the rest the next day.
Some days there’s no way I’m getting everything on my list done. Either my list is too long, or something unexpected needs to be handled. When something unexpected comes up, I move items to another day, & perhaps I’ll adjust it’s priority. I was taught a method for managing large task lists: Do it, Dump it, Date it, Delegate it. Some things just need to be let go of... permanently. It can be hard, but a release. Others should be addressed, but can/should be done later. Put it on a future date and review at that time. (Sometimes I end up dumping these.) Do I have to be the one to complete a task, or is it more important that it gets done? The second answer means I find someone to do it. I’ve been horrible at asking for help. Answering this question honestly and following through has made a world of difference!
I reevaluate the list. See what needs to be done today for sure. If it isn’t something that must be done "today", I move it over to my list for "tomorrow".
I ask this... Is it to complex do I need to break it down? Should I be doing it? If I answered no to the first question and yes to the second question. I move it to tomorrow.
I have a reminder to “adjust and commit to my plans” reminder on this app at the end of the work day.
You need to prioritise your to do list being the most important the least important so as and when your preferences arise you need to keep on increasing your to do list and thereby bringing the things that are most important to you
