Getting it out of your mind...
This list idea is so simple but I think it might be a solution for me. I'm so busy some times that I find myself trying to do too many things at one time and forgetting things. Other times when I do have a free moment I find myself walking around in a haze wondering "now what was it I was supposed to do?", and accomplishing little, or focusing on the wrong (least important) things on my imaginary list.
Now... where do I keep the to-do list where it will be handy? I don't have a "desk" and work in several areas of the building...
I just looked up "To Do" list on my iApps on my phone! There are dozens! Now I plan to sort through and try one!
That's great Christine! Portability is key!
This is totally me. I feel like I go 900 miles an hour and forget what i,m doing. I find that writing my to do list on a 3x5 index card works great. I'ts small and can fit in my pocket or purse
Great points Steven! Sometimes people fret over procrastinating tasks, and the procrastination itself can cause a tremendous amount of stress. Addressing tasks quickly mitigates this source of stress.
In the past I have been bad about putting things off. I find that this intensifies the stress level of working. Since going through this course I have started to get things done instead of putting them off. This has helped reduce my stress level emmensely.
There are lots of handy places to keep a to do list. A simple place is on a piece of paper or small notepad in your pocket or work bag. A more technical place is on a data device like a mobile phone or blackberry. List portability is key for you in that you are working in several places in your building and do not have a desk.
