This will help to maintain a balance between short-term and long-term goals and to include in the list something that makes you happy.

2. Keep separate lists in electronic form and on paperwe All want to forget about the paper, but if you could have a separate paper list, it will complement what you are on the computer. In a digital list, you can generally dump all of your important things, and the paper then becomes a to-do list for each day. This will help to focus and not be overloaded.

8. Add enjoyable tasks for extra motivationis Always good when you have something pushing to do. Such an impulse may be encouraging: for example, if you performed the 10 most important things you can NAP for ten minutes. You can sort tasks in the list, linking to each something nice or some kind of reward. It is better motivated.

9. The method Warren Buffettreally Want to prioritize? Follow the advice of Warren Buffett: write down the top 25 things you want to do in the future. Then select the 5 most important, and the others add to the list of "avoid at any cost." And all of your cases in the daily list should be connected with points out the top 5.

10. Instead of a list scheduleList allows you to keep track of things we need to do, but a pending task in the long list of torture and make us unhappy. Maybe instead of a list is to program all the tasks and using the service like FollowUp.cc organize reminders by e-mail.
