Summer is a great time to have a running to do list – you might have a more flexible schedule at work, kids are home from school, everything is structured a little bit differently. For me, it’s helpful to write things down and check them off. So if you’ve never kept a to-do list or maybe you wear yours around your neck, today’s post is for you!
5 Reasons to Keep a To Do List:
-
Checking off items gives you a sense of completion and satisfaction
-
Stop wasting time trying to remember what you were going to do – be more productive!
-
No losing focus – at a glance know what comes next
-
Other family members can see what needs to be completed and contribute
-
Brain dump – keep your mind free by writing down your mental lists
5 Ways to Keep a To Do List:
- Notebook or notepad – tear out sheets when completed or keep in the notebook to refer back to tasks you’ve completed
- Chalk board or white board
- Calendar
- Vinyl on a frame
- Printable – here’s a free one for you! and if you go here, I have another to-do list freebie for you too!
So tell me, what’s your favorite way to keep track of your to do’s?
