Never-ending to-do lists????

Here's what you are probably doing wrong????

?You have one big to do list with everything you need to do some time in the future

?You possibly also have separate and scattered to-do lists (one in your notes, on on your computer, one in your calendar...o h and that one you made on a receipt that should be somewhere in your wallet)?

?You are working from your to-do list: trying to cross of task after task after task?

? You are multitasking. Your phone is in reach and your email is open. When you get a message you get distracted

? You don't know what to do first so you just start on top of the list. Or with the easiest task.?

? Or you start with the biggest task (because 'eat the frog' right? But it takes up a huge chunk of your day and you don't have time for the things that are more urgent.?

Here's what you should be doing: ?

???Not all tasks are the same. You need to 'tag' your to-do's with at least 3 things:?

1. A deadline (when does it have to be done)?

2. Which type of task is it? For what project? Which division of your business (marketing, sales, admin..)?

3. Priority: Rate the urgency and the importance of the task.?

???BATCH. Group similar to-do's together (admin, marketing, emails etc.) and use:

???TIME-BLOCKING - Block time for a certain type of project or business division. During that time block you are ONLY allowed to do that type task.

??? Multitasking is a no go. Stay focused by putting your phone on flight-mode, put it out of sight (behind your computer screen) or get it out of the room completely. Use tomatotimers.com to work in focus blocks of 25 minutes.?

???Have all of your to-do's in one place. The only to-do list I have that is NOT in my planning tool is my daily mini-tasklist in my bullet journal. Those mini-tasks are mostly smaller parts of bigger tasks.
