DO you have a daily to do list?

I make lists all the time. Usually, when I have a lot to do throughout the day, I will make a list, so I dont forget to do something and then I just cross off the things I have done that day and do the rest the next day. Also, if I am going somewhere, like on vacation or somewhere important I will also make a list so I know what to bring and to make sure I have brought it. I actually love making lists because I feel more organized and then I dont have to leave the house feeling as if I forgot something or need something else. This way, I know 100% that I brought whatever I need and that it is with me. I actually bought a booklet for making lists. It was so worth buying it!

I try to make my to do list every night before going to bed so I have it ready for in the morning. I have found that this really helps with getting to sleep as I am adhd and will lie awake thinking for hours about all that I need to get done, either the following day or just in general. I have also found that it helps to make several lists with different timelines, for example I have a daily, weekly, monthly and in general lists. This works out really well for me and I use them in conjunction with Outlook and my cell phone where I set reminders. I have to use lists, otherwise I forget what needs to be done and I also get sidetracked way too often.

No I dont for I would probably never do it I just do what I have to now any how I hate house work I dont really like to cook and I will be doing that soon when daughter goes back to work!

I don't have a to-do list unless there is an important event coming up, and there are certain things I have to do to prepair for it. When I was working in Australia as Credit Manager, I used to have a to-do list. It was needed when you and your staff had deadlines to meet.

i make a to do list alot but half the time i don't remember to follow it! Mine tends to be more of a constant to do list instead of a daily one. i will just keep adding do it and scratching off the stuff i get done. then when i run out of room i'll start a new one on a new piece of paper. if there was still stuff on the list i'll copy it to the new piece of paper.

hello there.being a wife and a mommy i have i dont need to write i a paper it is listed in my mind daily and i am sure the day is not wasted.

I have started making to do lists more. I find I need them or else I won't get anything done. I am terrible disorganized. I don't know where to start when I'm taking on a major task like house cleaning. It helps if I break it down into parts, like, cleaning out the junk room, cleaning the bathroom, etc.

Depending on my schedule I either have a daily or a weekly to do list. Things that can't wait or be postponed go on the daily list. Things that I want to accomplish at some point go on the weekly list. Of course I'm not perfect and sometimes it's easier to cross a task off the weekly list when I should be more focused on the daily one. I think having lists helps me keep track of tasks I need to complete. I would forget something if it wasn't on the list. My only problem is losing the list which is why I keep it in electronic format so I can always refer to it.

I don't have a list like that. Maybe I should. But I do have a specific order of things when I have to go run errands. I always try to schedule the time and route to make the best use of time and gas.

I could have. SHould have :)But I don't usually have a daily to do list :) It could probably remind me of things I need to do and that end up forgetting, but then again, the times that I did make a daily to do list I ended up forgetting all about it so it didn't do me any good either:):) I guess if there is something tat I really need to remember my best bet is to write it on a sticky note and stick it on my monitor. That way I'll remember:):)

Right now, I don't have a daily to-do list. And I should get one for each day! Just yesterday I was wondering why I didn't get more done. And now I know why! Without a list, I forget the things I need to do! Thanks for the great idea!

I always do this.And add everything as I thiink of it.Of I have lists for the next 2 or 3 days, including anywhere I have to go and shopping.I usual have weekend ones worked out by friday.

I make a to do list in my mind on things that have to be done that next day , and sometimes I forget to do them . I usually so all the things that need to be done out of a habit now .

I've started a daily to do list again, along with weekly/general, as I feel I do much more when I do this.. :) There's an approach called 'Simpleology' that I found online, & it suggests doing a daily 'braindump' to get rid of the thoughts & 'to-do's' in one's head, & there's the GTD approach ('Getting Things done') that many people seem to find helpful too.. I have a combination of those, though I'm still tweaking the system & learning what would work best.. :) Shopping with a shopping list is soo much easier!! Thanks for the thread cause it's helping me be more motivated with my lists too!! :)

Yes. I have a daily to do list every day of the week. Sometimes I get everything done on it and sometimes not. whatever I do not get done on the list, gets added to the next daily list and so on. I mark off my daily things also. Sometimes there is never enough time to get to everything though. I think I make my list too long to begin with.

Hi Zel, When I was working, I need to have a list so since I am naturally forgetful!So, to be guided and to make sure I can do what I want and need to accomplish, I will prepare to my list! In most cases, I am sticking to it not unless there are changes that I need to consider..due to weather,occasion or schedules! Now that I have no work, I will just go with the flow..LOL! I mean it's easy to follow the daily routine, not much changes and not much appointments! LOL!

I should have a daily to do list, but I do not and as a result I never do half the things that I know I should do. I really need to write myself one for each day but I always think that I will remember and get it done. Of course I do not and then I have to do it another day.

I often have a list, or write things in my diary at work. It helps me to be organised!

Sorry No I dont have a daily to do list I just live without structure and with going with the flow of things.(explains why my kitchen doesnt get cleaned)

Yes, I do have a board in my kitchen so that it is automatic to write it on board so I will not forget in time of my grocery timing, to be more frequent in things and in my budget.
