What’s important to write first when I wanna start writing my to-do list? 🤔🤔🤔

The first thing you think of! Just write all of your ‘jobs or tasks’ on your to-do list then you can prioritise them after. I also use colours to sort into categories.

Hi I feel as though the best start is to clean up the environment you live in. I let my house work get on top of me and I got very overwhelmed with all the cleaning up I had to do. Focus on cleaning your bedroom 1st as your main task. I feel as though it’s the best start as you wake up in that room every morning to start your day. Mine looks great now and I am happier. I hope this helps.

I think of all the tasks I need to do Then I prioritize them accordingly by how critical they are I consider doing the quick wins first so my list can get shorter Like this it’s an encouragement and motivation to get the rest of the list done

This is a singularly irritating answer to receive to a question.... but it’s really up to you. Personally, I divide my day into parts. They might be ‘before lunch’ and ‘after lunch’ or between meetings. I then choose tasks based on priority and timeframe available - for me, there’s no point trying to squeeze my most important task between meetings if it’s a big piece of deep work, for example. So, the first thing I write is the first ‘division’ heading (usually ‘before morning tea’). In my old job, where my to-do lists were MUCH longer, I’d do a brain dump first to get ALL of my tasks out of my head, then prioritise my list and start from the top rated task. I was very helpful to be able to see everything to prioritise properly, but I have to say, I very rarely got to the end of the list using this method, so it might need a tweak to stop you from feeling like you’re never getting anywhere. Sometimes, if I’m tired, I deliberately put a nice easy task first to tick off quickly, so I can bounce off that awesome sense of reward and progress into more important, but less attractive tasks. I think the thing I’d stress here is don’t get too hung up on ‘getting it right’ - if what you’re doing isn’t working for YOU, iterate! Hopefully the above has given you some ideas 🙂

I always write the first thing that comes to mind. I don’t prioritise by writing the important things first I just write. Then I will mark the most important things.
