Personally, I know that I can only get at most 5 to-do list type tasks done in a day. So I usually write down the 3 I need done, and then write another 2 that might not get done, but are the next priorities if I do get the first 3 done. Knowing your limits is important so you don\u2019t end up overwhelming yourself by asking too much of yourself. It\u2019s also important to plan ahead, so even if something can\u2019t be done today or tomorrow it has a spot reserved, making sure it gets done on time. At the same time, sometimes it\u2019s helpful to keep a master list around so you don\u2019t forget about all the other tasks that need to happen somewhere along the line. Honestly, I don\u2019t use a master list, but if you tend to forget the small stuff like washing dishes or any other smaller tasks, it\u2019s probably a good idea to keep one.<\/div>\n<\/div>
