Using a To Do List effectively
I've tried handwritten lists, planners, Outlook and Google Calendars and Tasks. My problem is that after I make a list, I have trouble keeping it in front of me. My duties take me from home to office to seminars and conferences to the classroom. Somehow, I manage to find myself away from my task list, sometimes for the better part of the day. When I finally refer back to it, it's too late, and important tasks have been forgotten.
Does anyone else have this problem? Seems like it may be a discipline issue, or simply an adversion to structure. I've always been a "go with the flow" kind of person.
This is a common problem Perry. To find the solution, start by identifying what you do have with you during the day. Perhaps it's a cell phone or a notepad. Leverage those items that are consistently with you to work as reminder systems.
