Thanks ALG. I’m also a big believer in to-do lists.
However, I do have one question for you. Do you see any benefit to
prioritizing the items on the to-do list according to their level of importance?
Just as it’s easy for us to feel overwhelmed and unfocused when trying to carry all of our “to-do” tasks around with us in our heads, I think we can also become overwhelmed by making a to-do list that has, say 2000 items on it with equal status.
I like to keep two lists. One of important tasks that need to be done soon (this is the shortest list) and the other of tasks that there’s no hurry on, that can really be done anytime (this list is long, so I keep it in a binder – and all the tasks are sorted by category).
