To do lists

WISE GUY TIP OF THE DAY:  Limit TODAY's to-do list to 10 items that you know that you can complete.

Make sure you begin with the tasks in order of how you will complete them during the day.  For example, if you have a task that is after lunch, don't put it first.  Don't make it harder for you to complete your tasks by making it more confusing!

Here are some additional helpful hints:

1) If it is too big a task, break it down and make each part one of your 10 items
2) Only add things after you finish the complete 10
3) Additional items (if not emergencies) can be added to TOMORROWS list
4) Emergencies STOP everything, get done, and then the list continues
5) Celebrate when you finish the list - if there is still time left in the day, start a new list

These tips will help you:

1) Not become overwhelmed
2) Set realistic goals for yourself
3) Give you a sense of accomplishment every day

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
