Hello All!
It’s time for another time management tip. Let’s talk about the to-do list. If you want to take control of your time, you must prioritize your tasks. Creating a to-do list will help you prioritize your tasks with ease. Your to-do list can be made daily or weekly, it really just depends on your preference. My tasks usually don’t change during the week, so I make mine weekly. When creating your to-do list write each task down and then rank those tasks using 1-3, 1 being the high priority and 3 being the lowest priority. For example:
__1__ Write 1400 word term paper
__3__Grocery shopping
__2__ Job search
Once you have ranked your tasks then you are able to give them a time frame for completion. For example:
3 hours – Write 1400 word term paper
2 hours – Job search
1 hour_ – Grocery shopping
I’m using only 3 task examples, but you use as many as you need, just remember to rank each task to determine the importance as well as the time frame for completion. Once you have completed this step you can then create a schedule. You can check out my post on creating a schedule here. Click this link To do list worksheet. In the next time management tip, we will be discussing breaking large tasks down into smaller tasks using the term paper example above. Leave a comment letting me know if this tip was helpful. See you next time!
