I must say that I enjoy writing out a list for the my duties of the day, if I don't then I'm sure to miss something. I like to have a spot for the check so I can check off the things that I have accomplished on the today's list that I write out. In doing this I find that it is very helpful and I have everything in order and most times I get around to everything and I'm certain of what I have completed and what I have not completed, and this way I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off!!!:)

This is an actually wonderful concept. I was reading a book about leadership and most leaders do this. It lends to the power of intention and creating ones experience. It's good that you do it. I have to say I'm not as dedicated to doing so right now. My primary concern mostly is making it through this pregnancy, lol. But I totally believe in making a to-do list. It's a sign of organization. It's good to know what expectations we set out for ourselves each day so we know what we are doing. I am glad you started this discussion. This reminds me, I need to make out a list of a few things I need to take care of for tomorrow.

Hi writergirl74, Thank you for your comment. I think that writing a list is a sign of being organize. I think that it is a good thing that you enjoy taking the time to write your list in hope of being more organize, I do this as well for that very reason, just keep being organize. I heard this saying befor "If We Stay Ready We Won't Never Have To Get Ready," because we are already ready right?!!!:)

I would be so lost without a To Do List so I have to make one. I make of list of what household chores need to be done, what errands need to be done and since I am in school I make a list of what homework assignments I need to do. I also make a shopping list and stick with it so I do not overspend. If something does not get done then I go ahead and do it the next day.

Hi Randylovesdar, Thank you for this post. i think that making a to do list for chores and houshold things are a great thing to do. When you make a list for the chores around the house all you have to do is work it one chore at a time until you end up with the last chore then you can find a brake the best part about the list the last one right?!!!:)

Hi
I am really poor in this. I usually think of making a list seriously but somehow i am very lazy to make it every day. But when i am out of station i prepare it very well but once i reach home i never do that.
May be because i am of the thought that my parents take care of all those so i am relaxed.
I agree if we are not clear with any point or calculation we run around like anything and and our heads wont work. so its better to prepare the list and be calm.

Hi Prashu228, I thank you for your comment. I think that things will get better for you in that department of being lazy. The good part about this is that you don't have to stay lazy, you can get up from there and do something more productive and just the opposite of lazy friend okay. So don't worry about that it's just all about our determination and our will to wnat to acheive the things that we feel is out of reach, and once we do this it will be in arms reach for us to just grab it okay friend? Keep being positive!!!:)

When my days is going to be pretty busy I make it a point to write a to do list for the day so that I wouldn't miss a thing or two. But I don't do it always because there are days when tasks are pretty much easy so I just made a mental note.

Hi Echo06201, i know sometime we may forget that's why as soon as it comes to mind I run and write out the list, otherwise I am bond to forget just like you. My advice to you would be to just soon as you get that thought to go write your list just go head and write okay.!!!:)

I usually do this when I have various activities in mind. I just written done the list for this week since anything can happen. I just need the cooperation few some people to put my plan into action. I sometimes list things because there is a need for an organized manner and things form all places needs a little hand in organizing. It is really very helpful especially if you are juggling a lot of things at the same time.

My mother used to do this every day. I use too, and sometimes still do, but most of the time I just fly by the seat of my pants.

Not exactly a daily "to do" list but I keep a pad of paper handy and jot down things that need to be done during the week because I am so busy I tend to forget more than half of them otherwise! Same with keeping a running grocery list. By the time I have a few extra minutes, I check the list and do one of the more important things on it. With the grocery list, it's handy when I run out to the store -I just grab it and go and get what's needed.

Edvc77, Thank you for your response great one by the way. I think that we should always pray before the day even begins and give God thanks and praise so that when can do what is needed of us and you pray for guidance is amazing, and I like that and think you should keep doing this . Great response!!!:)
