Do you want to create a To Do List for your child, your partner or better for yourself? Read this article to find out how to do it!
Steps
Step 1. Think about everything that needs to be done
Describe it clearly using appropriate language. Instead of writing "supermarket", write Go to the supermarket and buy a package of dish soap.
Step 2. Use legible handwriting
Otherwise your to do list will be completely useless.
Step 3. Make it visible
Use bright colors or place it in a prominent place, otherwise the recipient will not be able to complete it.
Step 4. Add a date, time or deadline
They will be very useful for planning their progress well in advance.
Step 5. Organize the list effectively to get it done quickly
If it's a Christmas shopping list, group tasks by places and shops. Organize a journey that includes minimal movements from one shop to another, you will be able to save precious time.
Step 6. Set priorities
On a home repair list, put the most serious problem first. In a very long list, break down your commitments daily or over multiple weekends.
Advice
- Add specific times to help organize better, for example 12:30 to 1:00 to bathe the dog.
- Break large projects into small tasks. For example, instead of "Plan your vacation," write "Call the travel agent," "Find catalogs," "Buy tickets," "Contact the dog sitter," etc.
- Add numbers and lists for better organization.
- You can write and edit your list using your computer, for example with Ever-Note products, and synchronize it with your mobile devices.
- Try using a neon color to write your list. People tend to remember things written in bright colors more easily, especially if they are in yellow.
