Or do you sometimes just forget to do something important, so that people have to remind you to get work done? All of these are symptoms of not keeping a proper "To- Do List." These are prioritized lists of all the tasks that you need to carry out. They list everything that you have to do, with the most important tasks at the top of the list, and the least important tasks at the bottom. By keeping such a list, you make sure that your tasks are written down all in one place so you don't forget anything important. And by prioritizing tasks, you plan the order in which you'll do them,

When you don't use them effectively, you'll appear unfocused and unreliable to the people around you. When you do use them effectively, you'll be much focused, and you'll be much more reliable. You'll experience less stress, safe in the knowledge that you haven't forgotten anything important. More than this, if you prioritize intelligently, you'll focus your time and energy on high value activities, which will mean that you're more productive, and more valuable to your team. Keeping a properly structured and thought-out list sounds simple enough. But it can be surprising how many people fail to use them at all, never mind use them effectively. In fact, it's often when people start to use them effectively and sensibly that they make their first personal productivity breakthroughs, and start making a success of their careers. Preparing a To-Do List Step 1: Write down all of the tasks that you need to complete. If they're large tasks, break into sub tasks or action step, and write this down with the larger task. (Ideally, tasks or action steps should take no longer than 1-2 hours to complete.) Note: You may find it easier to compile several lists (covering personal, study, and workplace, for example). Try different approaches and use the best for your own situation. Step 2: Run through these tasks allocating priorities from A (very important, or very urgent) to F (unimportant, or not at all urgent). Tip: When you're prioritizing tasks, make sure you differentiate between urgency and importance. If too many tasks have a high priority, run through the list again and demote the less important ones. Once you have done this, rewrite the list in priority order. Very Important Very Urgent Important Urgent Not Important Not Urgent A B C D E F

This is why it's useful to research and try several different ways of compiling your list before deciding on a single system. Tip: To-Do Lists are particularly useful when you have a few tasks that you need to complete. However, they can become cumbersome when you have too many items on them, or when you need to progress multiple projects. At this stage, it's worth starting to use Action Programs , which are designed to manage more complex situations reliably. تعقیب و معلومات براۓ یونیورسٹی انٹرنیشنل رفاہ کمپلیکس المیزان 274پاکستان ،راولپنڈی ،روڈ پشاور HR Department tameer.emag@riphah.edu.pk Tel: 92 51 5125162-7, Ext-231 UAN: 92 51 111 510 510 For Information & Feedback Using Your To-Do List To use your list, simply work your way through it in order, dealing with the A priority tasks first, then the Bs, then the Cs, and so on. As you complete tasks, tick them off or strike them through. What you put on your list and how you use it will depend on your situation. For instance, if you're in a sales-type role, a good way to motivate yourself is to keep your list relatively short, and aim to complete it every day. But if you're in an operational role, or if tasks are large or dependent on too many other people, then it may be better to focus on a longer-term list, and "chip away" at it day-by-day. Many people find it helpful to spend, say, 10 minutes at the end of the day, organizing tasks on their list for the next day. Reference: http://www.mindtools.com/
