Understanding Your To-Do List

Before you can conquer your to-do list, you need to understand its contents. Don’t just jot down tasks haphazardly. Take a moment to categorize them by priority, urgency, and project.

Instead of loosely scheduling your day, allocate specific time slots for particular tasks, both work and personal.
