What sort of to do list is better..shorter or longer one’s?

Suzanne Q.

I have long term goals which take the form of a shorter list.
Then my new year, monthly, weekly and daily goals are built around incremental steps to walk me gradually, but always in the right direction, towards them.

Keep it short, or use the Eisenhower Matrix Method to sort through things you need to do NOW / TODAY and things you want to keep in mind for later. To-do lists that are too long can become overwhelming and defeating!
