 Things I Must Do
(~~Back To Stress Information And Articles~~)
Preparing To Do Lists: If you haven't used "To Do Lists" before, try them!! Even if the things you want to accomplish do not seem overwhelming, they are extremely powerful, both as a method of organizing yourself and as a method of reducing stress.
Some people recommend doing them at the end of each day for the next day, others at the beginning of the day, and others whenever they feel that things are getting out of control. The important thing is that you use them in the way that suits you.
Write down the tasks that face you, and if they are large, break them down. If they still seem large, break them down again. Do this until everything that you have to do is listed.
Once you have done this, run through these jobs allocating priorities from A ( very important ) to F ( unimportant ). If too many tasks have a high priority, run through the list again and demote the less important high priority items. Once you have done this, rewrite the list in priority order. By ordering these tasks in order of importance, you have prioritized your to do list. |
