006: How To Make Your To-Do List Work for You

Mattie James Season 1 Episode 6

When you misuse it, your to-do list can do more harm than good.

Just because you have a to-do list doesn’t mean things will get done. It’s not about doing every single thing, every single day. That just isn’t realistic or sustainable.

On average, people have about 15 projects going on at a time.

Here’s why to-do lists work: They help us maintain awareness of our tasks, which makes us clear and focused, and therefore, we get things done.

But they work best when we keep things simple and relevant.

Why are to-do lists important? What do they do for us?

They help us have…
Less stress
Less anxiety
Priorities in order
Sense of accomplishment
Memory
Productivity
Clear plans
Motivation
Time for what matters
Task management
