Every day,
you face a myriad of choices about your daily to-dos. There are things you have
to do, things you want to do, and things other people ask you to do. Tasks for work,
family, self, and friends. Tasks that require mental concentration, physical
strength, charm, creativity, or diplomacy. When looking at a long list of
to-dos, it can be tempting to dive right in, starting at the top and knocking
them out as they come at you. But don’t. Take a moment to sort through them to
ensure you approach your day efficiently.
Remember
the closet metaphor from last week’s blog on “What Makes Time So Difficult to
Manage?” In an organized closet, you stretch space by grouping similar items.
The same is true of your to-dos. Grouping similar....
As a professional organizer in CT who also likes to be green, I group all the errands I have to do by location. That way instead of driving from town to town and then back again, I make a list and plan out the order which I will complete them all so I am doing as little driving as possible. Making a list also helps me to remember to bring my reusable bags and finally get around to doing those things I keep forgetting to do.
