Well, friend, we’re officially in August.
Back to school is in the air. The last few weeks of vacation are coming to a close. And work schedules are picking up steam.
In short, things are about to get busy.
In today’s podcast, I’m helping us get ahead of the game by diving into all things organization.
That way, when things do get busy, we’ll have our ducks in a row and we can take everything in stride.
We are going to do this today by focusing specifically on our to-do list.
My Top Strategy to Organize Your To-Do List With Ease
We talked a little bit about the importance of having a to-do list in the last episode. So many people simply rely on their brainpower to remember the different tasks they need to complete.
And while this might be okay for certain situations, studies have shown that for the majority of us, our memories struggle to remember more than three things at once.
So if you have more than three things to do at any given time – and since you’re listening to this podcast, I’m guessing that you do – then it would certainly benefit you to not only maintain a to-do list but also to keep it organized.
So that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today.
How to create and maintain an organized to-do list.

August 17, 2019 at 2:51 amThanks for sharing these tips! I’ve been realizing how important it is to really have a plan every day. It can be overwhelming when it’s so much, but it’s a lot easier when you break it down to more manageable parts.

Maria says
August 13, 2019 at 3:48 pmI use a verity of techniques to make to do lists including google keep and my bullet journal. My main problem is losing motivation and unforeseen issues getting me off track.
Paula says
August 15, 2019 at 7:02 pmHooray for bullet journals! Aren’t they the best?
Heather says
August 13, 2019 at 11:35 amI’m awesome at making to-do lists, but I do have issues with prioritizing occasionally. Sometimes I do the easiest things first vs. the things that are more urgent.
Paula says
August 13, 2019 at 12:55 pmI hear you, Heather. That is something a lot of us struggle with, I think.
