Do you ‘list’? I do!

13 June, 2007 - General Business - 4 Comments

Since I started working from home full time in June 2005, I have joined the portion of the population who use lists to get their work done on a day to day basis. It is only recently that I have realised how much I rely on them and how effective they really are. When I first started using lists, it was as basic as a list item per line in my favourite text editor. That worked great, but I now use Google Desktop. With my one ‘to do’ list, I have a clear overview of the tasks that need to be completed. The list is ordered for priority, and I get that great sense of satisfaction when I tick off one of the items. Whether it’s a ‘to do’ list for the next day, or a shopping list, they have a great ability to be simple to construct, don’t have to be anything elaborate, and they point you in the right direction. They give a clear sense of ability to get things done. I’m a big believer that over half, probably closer to three quarters, of the ability to do something is in the mind. With a list, that sense of direction and ability that it gives you seems to overcome the mental aspect, and therefore allows you to concentrate on the physical job at hand. Do you use a ‘to do’ list? Have you seen any significant change in productivity when using a to do list?
