The List

Dear Friends,

Before we could even start the day, we begin to mentally prepare a list of things to do for the day. By the end of the day we forget at least a few things which could have been done easily, if only we had remembered it during the course of our work or the day. With no one to remind us, it becomes even more difficult to keep track of jobs to do.

Would it not be a good idea if we could just jot 'to do' jobs while having our breakfast. This could be on a slip of paper or a dairy which we should not forget to carry. Many of us write down these things and forget to take the list along while stepping out :D

What I further do with this list is to organize the order of things to do if it involves going to different places to get jobs done. If it is a series of 'going out' jobs then I check whether there is a time within which I should be doing a particular job like the shop closes by 7pm, etc. Otherwise I chart out the route in such a way that all areas are covered in the shortest time possible. This helps in prioritizing the jobs accordingly.

It makes a lot of sense to have such a list every day and tick off what jobs have got done and which ones are pending. We should not however forget to add the pending ones to the new list of the next day.

This way we will keep doing all the jobs we wanted to.

Cheers!
