How do I stick to my to do list? Or what do I use to write up my to do list? I\u2019ll give you both. <\/p>\n

I use a big spiral bound notebook. When I\u2019m eat breakfast I think about what needs to be done that day. Appointments etc.<\/p>\n

After breakfast, I use the notebook to write 1, 2, 3 in the middle at the top. Then I write down all the things I thought of I\u2019d like to do that day. <\/p>\n

I look at everything including appointments and decide what is priority #1. I don\u2019t count appointments. They are just part of the day. I pick the hardest thing for 1 or the most time sensitive. <\/p>\n

Then I add 2 and 3. <\/p>\n

The things I don\u2019t include in my top three? They\u2019re on what I call my to do list, but the are not required. Only the top three are ones I\u2019m going to push to do. And even #3 doesn\u2019t get done sometimes. <\/p>\n

I need flexibility. <\/p>\n

Sometimes #1 ends up taking almost all day. Sometimes I don\u2019t feel so good in the afternoon (too hot outside). I allow myself to make changes to the page. <\/p>\n

I keep checking it throughout the day to see if I have forgotten anything. But it\u2019s not something I\u2019m going to use to beat myself up with. Life is not really something stable. Days aren\u2019t always what we think they will be. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>
