A Better To-Do List
Prioritise your list. You can put
more important things at
top, or put a mark next to them. Then start doing
important things first every day. If, like myself, you need
satisfaction of crossing off
small things on
list, do those only as a reward - after you do one of
important tasks.
Make sure
most important things get on your lists. That big trip to Nepal you're going to take "someday," may never happen until you break it into steps you can put on your list. In fact, it may be worthwhile to stop list-making altogether, until you clarify what IS important to you.
To break my list-dependency, I put things on my list just so I can ignore them to do more important things. You don't want to just "get busy," do you? If you want to move towards real values, you need to make your to-do lists work for you. Put that on your list for today.
