If it is an absolute priority &amp; must be done, then I block the time in my calendar to ensure I don\u2019t book a meeting or something else. Due dates are blocked as appointments. If the task is a priority and my day is flexible, it goes into a task list for the day or week. If it\u2019s a to do that is not a high priority, it goes on a list on my office white board to be worked in as time permits. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anthony E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Mostly, no. I write down the 3 biggest things I need to do for the day and events with times. This is because if I say &quot;I&#39;ll do it at such and such time&quot; and something comes up before then, this means I had time to get it done and instead procrastinated it. Also, I&#39;m taking online college courses and not working so my schedule is exceedingly flexible. Usually I do put &quot;work&quot; as a to-do and not an event because when I get home and feel exhausted I don&#39;t get much else done, but at least I accomplished one to-do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cida A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If I have a task that must be completed at a certain time or by a certain time the entry will reflect that, but for the most part however I keep a running list of to do-s for the day. <\/p>\n<p>If I know I must get certain things taken care of that day and I have several items to account for, I will create a schedule for my list, doing so also helps me determine how realistic my list is. <\/p>\n<p>I find that I am still working on making a more realistic schedule, but even if the list is too long, it allows me to visualize how I see my time- mentally. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hans Herbert U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I do both.
