Make the Best to-Do List by Focusing on What Would Make Today Big
Daily to-do lists are an effective way to get things done, especially if you know how to prioritize your tasks. However, how you decide to prioritize your tasks can affect how you feel at the end of the day.
Sometimes the quest for productivity isn’t about tackling the hardest things in the first place or maximizing your time. It might just be in a good mood for what you are doing. If you’re looking for a fresh way to approach your current challenges, AJ Agrawal from Inc. invites you to focus on the things that will make your day fulfilling when all is said and done:
Instead, each morning, write down three things that will make your day great. This could include going to the gym, filling out a company report, or asking your wife out on a date. Focus on what is under your control. By focusing on just three things that will make your day great, you give yourself a much better chance of feeling fulfilled by the time you go to bed.
Some things will be more productive than others, but you will feel good about yourself and start working so you can complete these more challenging tasks. Just make sure you control your three things intelligently. This is definitely a different approach to your to-do list , but it can work wonders. So ask yourself, what three things would make today great?
