Personally, I find that creating a task list before starting my workday is crucial for my productivity. It helps me stay organized and focused on what needs to be accomplished.

@jus10mcgill by organizing your tasks, you can deal them efficiently and avoid feeling overwhelmed. Keep it up
Yes, It allows me to have a clear roadmap of what needs to be done, helping me stay on track and avoid wasting time on nonessential activities.
Not every day but I do keep track of the most important ones. Making sure I don't forget the most important ones.
Yes, I always make my task list before starting my work.
Absolutely! Creating a task list before starting the workday is like having a little roadmap for success. It keeps me organized, focused, and ready to tackle anything that comes my way. Happy planning and productive days ahead! 🌟
Yess! I always plan my work day by using Ivy Lee Method. It keeps me motivated and focused 😊
@sandradjajic It's great to hear that!
Could you please share the impact of this activity on your daily routine?
@sandradjajic Love that! I use the Eisenhower Matrix to manage my tasks based on importance and urgency. I used to do simple to-do lists, but would find myself doing the wrong tasks first
@ericka_gonzalez That sounds great! Maybe I will give it a go :)
@neha_joshi8 Yeah no doubt this technique help us memorizing the task
Yes, but instead of a traditional task list, i try jotting down the top 3 priorities for the day. This way, i can focus on what's most important without overwhelming myself with a long list.
A checklist of tasks is absolutely mandatory to start any project.

well I try to, but mostly I miss doing it. I am still not sure if it will be more productive or not.
@hassan_munj Monitoring productivity on a daily basis can be challenging, but when you compare it on a weekly or monthly basis, you may notice a significant difference. This approach truly works
Have you heard of interstitial journaling?

What do you think of it?
😀 Making a plan every day is a good habit for time-savers. I also always write a plan of tasks in my notebook every day.
🙄 And I review them every evening and think about why I don't complete them or miss them.
🤠 After finding reasons, then they will be added to the plan for tomorrow.
😡 I don't like that the time goes so fast. 🤬
I do have a work diary where I write the date, then list out all tasks that I want to get to that day (along with people who I need to work with or follow up). Happens 4 out of 5 days, and sort of helps to get that feeling of "I did this" at the end of the day.
Yes! It helps a lot.
Not everyday if the list goes from one day to the other.
Also usually out current tasks are big enough that they go on for a couple of days.
But in general keeping a backlog of what you need to do really helps me out 😊
Yes, after the tasks have been assigned, I spend a solid 10 to 15 minutes creating a list based on the priority and importance of the tasks.
Then begin the day. ✌
I usually do that but also before leaving I tend to leave note that whereami and also note down in sticky note any things which comes in mind
As a marketer, I try to start with a listed work but after a few hours I can't maintain it, but I should. How can I maintain it? Product Idea😂?
Usually yes. Because I noticed an interesting thing that if I simply write down the tasks for the day somewhere ( notes on phone or piece of paper) in the morning, then in the evening most of them are completed. And this is despite the fact that I'm not looking into though the day. The brain somehow keeps more information about tasks if I've written in down previously.
Yes! I like to create a to-do list for the week and then break it down by day. I normally make a task list the week before and slowly add to it as the week goes on. Then I like to review it on Monday AM, and assess what is truly a priority and then create a daily list from there.
