I use my To-do list just for orientation. I write down really a lot of things to do, but I prioritize them. I start with things that had to be done and if there&#39;s some time left, I do the other things. But it is rare for me to complete my whole to-do list. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tilde A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">That\u2019s okay. Small changes are better and more permanent anyways. Try to make an improvement everyday. If one day you did four things, then the next shoot for five. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Isabel S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you don\u2019t get your to do list done, usually it means whatever was on there wasn\u2019t necessarily that important or \u2018priority\u2019 so if it\u2019s something that can be done the following day, do it then but don\u2019t keep prolonging it otherwise you just end up being a procrastinator\ud83d\ude06<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Carolyn P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would first prioritize the most important tasks in my to do list and get them done first and then work on getting the second important tasks followed by the least important ones.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Soraya N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi<br \/>\nReschedule what you didn\u2019t do<br \/>\nAfter a week take a good look at your lists and try to find a pattern or answer explaining why you didn\u2019t finish<br \/>\nAnd write your lists with your new knowledge.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jack R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sometimes I can&#39;t finish my to do list. In that case I evaluate whether the unfinished items are still relevant and move them to the next day&#39;s to do list.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Folker J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Don&#39;t beat yourself up about it. Just reschedule. Be realistic with your time. If this starts happening often you&#39;re probably planning too much. This will create a negative spiral. Make to do list you can finish, then slowly put more stuff on it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ute X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">That happens to me all the time.  Plenty of times I don\u2019t even get the three most important items of the day done.  Life happens\u2014and part of the point of the to-do  list for me is just that if I *don\u2019t* write these items down, the chances of my accomplishing them will be considerably smaller as I won\u2019t even *remember* to get all of them done.  (Far and away the most crucial reason I committed to Fabulous is that I have trouble remembering everything I want&#x2F;need to do.)  There is a habit called \u201cRevise and Recommit\u201d that I have found helpful for dealing with to-do lists that consistently remain undone (especially if you\u2019re consistently not getting your three most important goals done): it involves checking in on your to-do list later in the day and revising and recommitting to your goals.  If you find your lists are consistently not getting done, that can be a helpful exercise.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Daisy Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Figure out why. I started off by scheduling too many things. I also didn\u2019t leave room for the stuff that just comes up, like getting a flat tire or a new urgent project or a sick kid. Finishing my list got a lot easier when I started being realistic about my time and energy and interruptions <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Janos T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I will do it before I go to bed every day to be prepared for the next day.
