Do you often feel overwhelmed by the amount of work you have to do, or do you find yourself missing deadlines? Or do you sometimes just forget to do something important, so that people have to chase you to get work done? All of these are symptoms of not keeping a proper "To-Do List."
To use your checklist, simply work your way through it in order, dealing with the A priority tasks first, then the Bs, then the Cs, and so on. As you complete tasks, tick them off or strike them through.
The daily checklist template achieves three key goals; it allows you to record the date, write out your own tasks, and record your progress as you go. Many entries in this list return to the idea of simplicity, and this template is no exception – it’s simple enough to prevent any distraction, but customizable enough to provide almost infinite uses.
Or, imagine you’re in a sales role and have a long list of people who you need to talk to. You write out a checklist of everyone you need to call and every client you need to see, and start prioritizing.
