The Importance of a To-Do List
by Clarice Mertz

A to-do list is like an agreement I make with myself. Once I have it in front of me I identify those items as high priority and I can focus. It is like having a target. It gives confidence and piece of mind. I know I can complete them because I create my lists in a way I cannot fail. My secret is, I write a long list with small tasks rather than a short one with long tasks. As I check each one as completed I feel a strong sense of accomplishment and get encouragement from my progress.

Here are six reasons why a simple to-do list is so powerful.

  1. It defines goals.
    With a detailed list in hands, your goals are defined; it is like you have a step-by-step recipe to follow.
  2. It grounds you.
    A to-do list lets you know exactly how to go forward with your day.
  3. Splitting your tasks.
    Splitting your tasks into parts will give you a sense of security even before you start
  4. Reduce stress.
    With a to-do list, there is no stress about what is next, or fear of forgetting something important.
  5. Sense of organization.
    The fact that you have the list in front of you is enough to reinforce the feeling of being an organized person.
  6. Reward yourself.
    Be sure to check it off and donŐt forget the task is not complete until you have rewarded yourself for your effort.

A to-do list can be the magic charm that gives you peace of mind and motivation to make your life successful. In fact by following this simple method you may choose to start calling your to-do lists by another name, success lists.
