CONQUERING THAT TO-DO LIST - Part 3

Continued from 2/21/15 post . . .

Add to the List - At the end of the day, add items to your list that weren't there but which you accomplished, just so you can cross them off.  This gives you a feeling of accomplishment.

Set Minimum Goals - Tell yourself that you will accomplish a doable number of things during the day.  Maybe it is three, maybe more.  You can see if ranking tasks by easiest to accomplish to hardest works better for you.  If you get more done by knocking off the easier or the harder tasks first, then do that.  See what works for you.

Whatever you accomplish in the day, think of it as a success.  Do not get daunted by the things you have not done.  Rather see them as challenges for the next day.
