All About To-Do-Lists

Know More: managing time, Organization, organizing tasks, task management, time management, to-do lists

As a work-at-home mom (WAHM), you're probably very familiar with these already. In fact you probably use to-do lists a lot. I know that I do.

These days, in fact, if I have a lot to do and I don't write it all down it throws me off a little. It helps me to see a list of what I have left to do and to cross each item off as I get it down.

Did you know that there's a website that will let you keep track of your lists online? I didn't know about it either until I read about it on Productivity Goal. (Thanks Alfa!) Not only does the Manage My Ideas tool keep track of your to-dos, the Task Lisk is like an online to-do list, it also keeps track of your ideas.

Just what I need!

Just before I read Alfa's post about Manage My Ideas, I read about a blogger who collects and publishes to-do lists on a blog known as, you guessed it, the To-do list blog. (Thanks Jeanne!)

Now, I had never thought of collecting my own to-do lists, let alone those of other people. However, the To-do list blog is interesting. So interesting, in fact, that the author of the To-do list blog has published a book of them. (Yep, it's called the to-do list book.)

Reading other people's to-do lists is kind of like, well, reading their diary. You know that you shouldn't, but you just can't stop yourself.

What about you? Do you use to-do lists? Why or why not?

Leave a comment and let us know.

You're welcome, Laura!

I find the To-Do List Blog fascinating! Glad you do, too!

I write all kinds of lists, because life gets so hectic at times that there are some things I forget almost as soon as I've heard, read, or decided to do them!

Thanks for the mention!

The great thing about writing to do lists is that the activity helps reflect once in a while and check if what's on my to do list actually help me grow as a person. No matter how mundane the tasks I need to do in a day, I make it a point that when I write my to do list, I prioritize those that contribute to my self improvement the most.

I simply MUST have a to-do list or I won't know which direction to go. To-do lists keep my days running smoothly and keeps me on track. Just like you were with this post. Nice job!

Thanks Bridget!

If I have more than three things to do in a day (which is practically every day), then I need a list. I even make lists of what we might do that day when we go on vacation!
