2. Review Your To-Do List If you don't already use a to-do list, create one! Review it during each planning session so that you can see not only what you have to do, but also what you have actually accomplished during
day.
Re-write your to-do list, removing completed items and adding things that came up during day. Move most important and urgent tasks to top of list. Break large projects into 3-5 steps that all go on list.
3. Review Your Calendar Take a look at your daily planner (you are using one, I hope!) See what appointments you have scheduled next day. Block off times in your planner, along with your travel time. Then, begin to schedule in time for tasks on your to-do list.
Taking just 15 minutes a day to plan alleviates much of day-to-day stress of life with ADD, and helps adults move forward.
