I find that to-do lists are extremely important in my life to help me be organized and to make sure I get everything done. Yes, I will admit that somethings get pushed off to the next day or week because I don't feel like doing it at that point or because it's such a big item. I now know that I need to have more manageable tasks on my to-do so that I can be sure to get everything done in a reasonable amount of time.

To do list are sometimes dreadful. Putting small manageable task on them does make it easier to get through. I didn't think about not putting goals and longer project on there. Having those on your to do list can sometimes make you feel like a failure because you haven't completed it yet again. Putting steps leading towards that goal or big project are more manageable and also keeps the progress moving along. To do list are great, they help you stay on track and for me personally, if I don't write it down, I may forget that I have to have it done for a certain time.

A to-do list is key to your day-to-day life. The more you stay focused on it the better. Don't be surprised if somethings don't go according to plan but always keep your goals in my mind. Make it in priority order and always work on one even if it's the least important.

I am the to do list queen. I have notes everywhere. I feel so accomplished at the end of the day when I get to check off all of those tasks that I need to to move my project along or move to the next level of closer completing my goal. This video did help me on how to write my list more specifically then to have a huge item written down that seems like there is 20 things to do for that one thing. I didn't now that there were different computer phone programs that outlook and gmail have for a to do list.

I'm a huge fan of to-do lists and try to make them as much as possible. This video points out good points on forming a doable list. My favorite point that was pointed out is breaking things down into parts, this is something I need to work on. I think making a to-do list would be helpful for everyone, it helps you stay on track and get things done.

I make to-do lists when I have a lot goin on that week. I started make a schedule describing hour to hour what I need to do to get it done. I found that this actually took more time than necessary, so I started making to-do lists of the projects that needed to be done, even though it is ill advised. I found that I actually work better with a project to-do list because I already know the tasks that need to be done to complete them.

We have a lot to do in a day and not enough time to get things done. A to-do list helps in order to remember everything that needs to be done. Some people can remember what they need to do so they don’t use them. I feel they are important to plan for the day and see what gets accomplished. It is important to include tasks and not goals as stated in the video. There are apps, websites and email to-do lists to help stay organized and have easy access to the list.

I loved watching this video! I have a planner that I write a to-do list in almost every single day. When I complete a task, I scratch through it. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. However, it is not unusual for me to have something left on my list at the end of the day that I didn't get done. Many times this is because I overload my day or am too broad with what my list entails. This video will definitely make me think more while writing my next to-do list!

This video is extremely applicable and should be watched by every business major at the university. I agree with everything she said about creating an effective to-do list. My biggest problem is that I put goals and projects on mine and it intimidates me. In turn, I get less done than I intended and get frustrated with myself for it.

I can relate to this video with my own job. During the day, I will have a lot of little tasks that need to be done, and maybe 1 or 2 major projects that need to be done. Oftentimes, I find myself working on all of the small tasks first and pushing the larger tasks off until the end of the day. I understand that this system is backwards, and I've been working on it. Understanding how to prioritize your tasks and projects is key in the productivity of the day. Yes, I understand that getting those big nasty projects done first is a dread, but whenever you've completed them early in the day, the rest of your day seems to be much more relaxing and filled with less stress. Your brain can only maintain so many tasks in your mind at one time. Therefore, it is critical that you write EVERYTHING down, even if it seems small and insignificant. I'll begin using this video to help further my action of perfecting my priorities at work and my To-Do Lists.

This video is a pretty simple concept. It does, however, elaborate more clearly what should be focused on in a to-do list. It's definitely important to understand your goal, learn how to obtain it through a project, and accomplish it with tasks that are easily manageable. I do like the idea of clearing out old tasks. If you were going to do it, it'd have already been done a year ago, so don;t waste time looking at a task that will never get done. Specificity is also important so that you're not missing anything along the way. I believe more, easily accomplished tasks are more effective than big complicated ones. Simple video, I probably wouldn't share this.

I really enjoyed this video! When writing a to-do list, it isn’t about getting a big goal or project done; it’s about completing the smaller tasks that will help you reach those goals. When I was working on my book report project, instead of just saying I would write the whole thing eventually, I broke up the different sections. For example, one night I said that I would complete the summary of the book up to chapter three. It took a while to complete the whole project but it was a lot less stressful then just jumping into the report. I definitely agree with this idea of a to-do list.

Now this is an idea I can get behind. I like how she talks about not putting projects on your to do list. I definitely am guilty of doing this in the past. I'm pretty sure that's why some things never get done on my to do list.

I will definitely incorporate what she said about how to break down a big project into several smaller tasks to gain more achievements when you complete every task. I have been very bad at time management and very good at procrastinating. This video is quite inspiring to me, and explained to me why I have been procrastinating so much, because I kept looking at the project as a whole, and it scares me away. If I had broken it down into small pieces, then I'd find it a lot easier to do.
