Simple (and fun) way to keep yourself on task!

One way to make sure that you are keeping up with what you need to do is by making sure you write things down. I always recommend that you write them down in one place. Read on for more ideas how not to let something slip through the cracks…  

I love re-writing my task list, it always gives me such a sense of accomplishment to cross off some of the items and then look forward to crossing some of the “new” things off someday too. It also helps to prioritize (or re-prioritize) some of the items on your list as well. I’ve mentioned that if you re-write a certain task more than 5 times on a new list that you can probably just delete it altogether since it hadn’t gotten done thus far, how important can it be?

A fresh start always feels good too. Writing out a fresh list on a clean sheet of paper always feels like I’m starting over in some ways. I also encourage you to use cute paper and maybe a clipboard or fun notepad that you like to record your tasks. Here is my favorite from Office Candy. It makes the mundane a little bit more fun (and as I always say, just because it’s practical doesn’t mean it can’t be cute)!

How do you keep yourself “on task”?
