Checklists can take many shapes and forms—you might like to make up a template on your computer or you might prefer using an exercise book so you can keep track of past lists. Finding your own technique is important.
Many software applications offer quite sophisticated checklist or tasking options: again, they are relatively easy to use and they can be tied into an overall diary and calendar. Finally, when it comes to checklists there are several tips to make them work more effectively.
Don’t put too many things on your list as you will never get them completed and always feel frustrated. Cross items off the list as you complete them (it feels great and gives you a sense of accomplishment). Finally, if you do other tasks during the course of the day put them on your list and cross them off again to give you a sense of achievement and accomplishment.
