How do you stay focused on getting stuff done throughout the day? How do you keep track of everything that needs to be done?
Are you the kind of person who just knows what needs to get done and does it immediately without any side quests enabled? Or are you the type of person who needs to pace themselves and take a break between different excursions?
Honestly, I tend to derail super easily, and regardless of whether I have a list made up or not, if I am not in the mood to be productive, then nothing is going to get done! But making a list to begin with can spark that little bit of motivation to get things done that I need in my day. And so, because of this, I am very much a list person.
Growing up, we had a chore chart that listed all of the different tasks we needed to get done throughout the day, but also throughout the week. This helped my mom to make sure we were all getting things done around the house but it also helped me to know if others had completed something, if I was going to be expected to do something else, and how much I had to get done before I would be allowed to do fun things like have a friend over.
Utilizing lists still remains a part of my life. Grocery lists, chore lists, game lists, book lists. They help me know what I have and have not done or gotten.
Although, honestly, I recently made a list of things to do for a friend that couldn't figure out what she needed to focus on and I saw how little that list was compared to the things that I needed to get done on my own lists and it made mine feel so much larger than it use to before ....
Sometimes I wish I could wave a magic wand and just poof my list complete.
