The Daily List

In the last post we looked at creating a weekly Master List. So now what do you do with this Master List?

From your Master List you now create your Daily Lists.

Daily lists can take whatever form best suits you. I happen to like a physical list, so I have a daily planner I write in. It could be a notebook or a computer program or app or whatever works best for you.

Doing your Daily List is usually best done at the end of the day (or work day) before. That way you still have the day fresh in your mind and know what needs to be done the next day.

So at the end of the day, check through your master list and choose 2-3 high priority items to schedule in for the next day. Then choose several other items that would be good to get done as well. Don't overfill your Daily List so that you just get yourself frustrated because you can never get it all done.

If you get a project done in less time than you had scheduled for it, you can always get out your Master List and choose some item that you could do in the extra time you now have available.
