But what I try to do is zero down the list at the end of the day.  Schedule tasks to do on other days, or even drop them if they aren&#39;t needed.  I pair my morning todo list with  my &#39;top 3 tasks&#39; habit. I always endeavour to do the top 3 things on my list every day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Joyce O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Spend time writing it so that you can know each task is genuinely possible based on how much time you will have and being generous with how much time each task will take.  This puts less pressure on you.  Also start with small manageable tasks. And for anything that feels daunting just break it up into 20 minute chunks with only small checks within that like &quot;fold basket of laundry&quot; vs. clean entire room.  And then take little breaks and give little rewards.  Leave space for unexpected tasks. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marion Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I enjoy making to-do lists. Downloading the list in my head is a real relief! I like to highlight for priority and make notes. The more detail on the paper, the more room in my head for other things.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Carlene E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I just pick 2-3 most important and try to complete them. Keep it simple.

Most times I never complete it in the required time. But I try to keep checking on the list to make sure I get things done <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jerry S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I sit down before I go to bed and think of what I need&#x2F;want to do the next day and make a quick list either on my phone or on some paper. The next morning I go through the list and prioritize what needs to be done, and shorten the list to become realistic. I personally love To Do-lists and it has helped me a lot to choose only three things to do, as I have a tendency to put a hundred things down and then never finishing it. I actually do what&#39;s on the list now. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Wilma J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have to start my task list the night before. It\u2019s just a rough draft but if I don\u2019t it takes me too long to do in the morning and it eats in to my limited child free time.  I can\u2019t get my daily task list done in the 10 minutes the challenge gives us though regardless. I need a solid 30.  I use a timer, and I sit outside with my coffee and do my task list. I don\u2019t let myself check my email or texts or social media until I\u2019m almost done. Then I quickly check my email for anything I need to attend to that day and add it if necessary. When I\u2019m finished I reward myself with 15 minutes to read the news, scroll through social media or whatever with my coffee.  I also make sure that I don\u2019t write my task list till I\u2019ve showered, dressed, done my make up and hair and gotten the kids out of the house for school.  The getting ready for my day makes me more productive and also ready to start tackling tasks right away. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Baldemar Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I make it a point to put items on my to do list that are easily obtainable like fold laundry or do the dishes. It makes me feel so good to cross off the items that I&#39;m motivated to continue completing my list. If it&#39;s hard to finish everything in one day I move the item (s) to the next day. The sense of accomplishment is what helps me want to finish the tasks. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin Z.
