To Do Lists

Back in my 20’s my memory was pretty darned good and who needed a list anyway? Heck, even in my 30’s it was still pretty decent. Ah, but time has worn on the brain and now I realize I need a “To Do” list.

To Do lists have a lot of reasons:

#1 – Remind yourself to do something
#2 – Remind yourself to do something (a task) by a certain time and date
#3 – Elevate stress because you reminded yourself to do said task
#4 – Set small goals which will lead into big goals
#5 – Help with time management

Did you know there are “To Do” list apps? Who Knew?

The first 3 that come up for me:

To-Do List
Smart Tasks
MinimalList

(I might have to get one)

Sure, I can set a reminder on my iPhone calendar but I’m thinking it’s quite the same for me.

Currently, I’m a BIG believer in Sticky Notes. I write my immediate “to do” list on that and keep it with me wherever I go. And sometimes that’s not enough, and I still forget.

What’s on my current “To Do” list this week?

Renew my benefits through LAWell
Write down what I eat and weigh myself
Costco shopping tomorrow – maybe
Bring the sweet crème to work for the coffee club tonight
Kid has a well check on Thursday
Work on my story, Gifts
Research Roth IRAs
Buy some ads with Fussy Librarian and Kindle Book Review and Written Word Media

Well, that’s what comes to mind. How big is your To Do list and how do you manage it?
