Small Business To Do List

A project to-do-list is an overview of activities and tasks that you plan to do by yourself or with your project team. Make sure you allocate sufficient time to the tasks, and do not take more time than you have available to complete them. If you plan too many activities, you will find yourself overwhelmed and unsatisfied after the work is (partly) done.

The first thing you could easily do is by creating ways to be better organized while staying productive. Although you need to be on top of things, you best do that step by step. The list goes on. Consider these super effective tips and hacks to get the most out of your to-do list and avoid being counter-productive with it:

By being able to view how much you have already accomplished, there’s a psychological effect that keeps you going for more. When you read this list, you might think: "Many modern project and team management methodologies (eg: agile sprints, scrums, lean, prince2, etc)" encourage members to break down their tasks into detail as much as possible to be more efficient — essentially exercising the same philosophies applied here.
