This part of the series is for those of you who still believe it is ok to go without a to-do list. Why would you need a to-do list? Well I could go around the reason and let it sound really detailed and difficult but I won’t. It is simple enough. You can’t keep everything in your head and expect to be very effective. Right there, that is all that you need to know about it. Now I would go ahead to still explain if you haven’t agreed yet.
When you are a highly busy person you would increasingly realize that your brain is not the best place to store certain information. Like the day you were supposed to get to an appointment which was lets say 9:00 in the morning. Your brain might remember but not necessarily on time. Well this would likely be the story of someone who decided to store all appointments and tasks in his or her head. Now let’s take a guy who has a to-do list and updates it religiously. Well you would notice the following. He wakes up on the morning of the meeting looks at his to-do list and from his list of activities he sees it right there, Meeting at 9:00, he didn’t have to leave all that work to his mind to recollect, all he did was to simply run through the list of things he had scheduled for the next day, and any time he looked at his list there it was right in his face for him to start working on.
I could go on giving examples but I am sure that if you sat down to think of the number of times you forgot something though it was very important I am sure that you would realize that if you were using a to-do list that wouldn’t have skipped your mind.
It is this element of the to-do list that makes it so powerful your ability to accomplish a lot could be increased considerably when you use this most powerful tool
Remember it is far better to store things on a piece of paper or any storage device than in your head unless it is a secret.
