One is a list of all the things that are on my plate. The large list allows me me to to get an aerial view of what needs done. Once that list is created I select what I would like to get done today and the top 3. Top three are the most important. They&#39;re the ones where I shouldn&#39;t lay my head down at the end of the day unless the three tasks are completed. When the next day rolls around I look at my large list and I add to do&#39;s if anything came up the day befor. Then I pull my dailies from it again. The cycle keeps repeating. It is important to remember that everyone&#39;s different and what works for me may not work for you. Keep an innovative mindset on how to work day today. If you fail at your to do&#39;s look at what habits maybe keeping you from doing the to do list or if the to do list structure itself doesn&#39;t click.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Felix E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I put down thing like work stuff or read books or repeat my Spain\u2019s on a daily basis and you can put what ever you want down it up to u <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cl Mentine O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to get a balance of the urgent and the important.
