Do you know…How many times a person re-writes their To-do list?

Do you know… How many times a person re-writes their To-do list?

I’m not sure, but it must be a lot! Each day, people roll over all the tasks they haven’t worked into their schedule.

It is like we are purposefully sabotaging our lives!  

The endless list: Are we all overbooked? Are we all frozen with indecision or distracted dealing with the merry-go-round-of-life?

Feng shui is all about getting organized and taking control of your life. Here is one great tip for you to see some progress in your day: Re-write your To-do list.

You read this correctly: The best way to get moving on your To-Do list is to apply action verbs. Action verbs can be more specific in telling you exactly what to do!

Instead of writing a list that looks like this;

1. Copies for meeting
2. Tickets for Friday night
3. Work on ad promo
4. Note to VP
5. Contact for TED talk
6. Work out

Try using an action verb, and be more specific;

1. Print copies for meeting at 1pm
2. Buy tickets on line for Friday
3. Work (is an action verb, but break it down) on ad promo  a) review promo to date b) propose a plan c) delegate/recruit help if needed.
4. Send e-mail to VP regarding _________.
5. Inquire with HR how to sign up for TED talk
6. Go to gym after work

By making your To-do list a little more detailed, you will be able to envision the tasks actually being completed.

Go for the Action Verb, and free yourself of the To-do list! Have a great weekend!
