One of the best ways to increase your
productivity as a blogger is to have a to-do list. If you have a to-do list and
if you follow that list regularly then you can complete more tasks everyday. And
in the end you’ll become more productive as a blogger than one who doesn’t have
a to-do list.
Here are some tips and tricks you can use to imply your
to-do list more effectively.
1. Make your to-do list
accessible
Make sure that your to-do list is easily accessible.
You may have a to-do list in your note book or on a note pad. You can also use
electronic devices like smart-phone, iPod, and computer applications. Whatever
method you follow, just make sure that you can access them easily, anytime, and
anywhere.
2. Make your to-do list visible
Keep your to-do list in front of your eyes so that it
reminds you what to do then. If you use a note book or note pad, keep it on your
desk where you work. If you use electronic devices, make sure that they are
visible. If you have a to-do list but if you don’t see it often, then it won’t
serve its purpose properly.
3. Start your day with your to-do
list
It is necessary to develop the habit of following your
to-do list. What’s the benefit of having a to-do list if you don’t follow it?
It’s better to start your day with your to-do list. For this you need to make
your to-do list in the previous night before you go to sleep. If you can develop
this habit you can end up completing more tasks in a day.
4. Put the important tasks on
top
It is better to complete your important tasks as early
as possible. For this reason, keep your important tasks on top of your to-do
list. You may always not be able to complete all the tasks for different
reasons. You may also need to change your plan for emergency reasons. If you
keep your important tasks on top then you’ll be able to complete them
early.
5. Make your to-do list
realistic
Don’t make your to-do list so long that you can’t
complete all the tasks. It’s necessary to develop the habit of completing the
tasks in the to-do list. If you make it too long then you can’t develop the
habit. Include as many tasks as you can complete. If your list becomes too long,
try to remove the tasks that are less important.
6. Include breaks between tasks
Taking breaks are also essential for productivity. You
can’t keep doing your tasks without breaks. Make sure that you include breaks
between your tasks. But don’t include breaks inside the task. It may distract
your concentration. Finish a single task, reward yourself with a break and then
start the next task.
It’s normal that you’ll miss few tasks quite often. But
don’t leave them completely. Add them to the next day’s to-do list. If you can’t
develop a habit of following your to-do list, you can achieve more productivity
and it will increase continuously.
