Tired of an endless to-do list where nothing ever gets done? Every day you get up with the best of intentions, but yet you wind up in the exact same place at the end of the day…frustrated at what didn’t get done. Feeling guilty, exhausted, and ready to throw in the towel before the day starts every single day. But, what if I told you that it was possible to make a to-do list you could actually accomplish? It’s totally possible, but there’s a secret. The secret is a to-do list that has less, not more on it. In fact, I’ve got the secret to creating an effective to-do list that actually serves rather than strangles you.

    As a busy, homeschooling, work at home mom, I’ve got a few tips to pass along when it comes to creating an effective to-do list. So, let’s get started with that, first.

    How to create an effective to-list – with template

    how to create a simple to do list

    Things to keep in mind when making a simple to-do list

    Not everything is urgent

    Like me, you might find that at first everything you need to do feels urgent, But, that doesn’t mean that everything actually is urgent. In fact, it is rarely the case. Keeping in mind that not everything is urgent is a great place to start. Another helpful tip is to take some time before putting something on your to-do list. Even just waiting 20 minutes will allow you to get some perspective about the urgency of the tasks you’ve got to complete.

    Delegate tasks from your to-do list to others

    It’s common to feel like you’ve got to do it all. In reality, there are others who can complete some of the tasks that are on your list. My goal is to delegate at least one thing on my initial list to someone else every day. Most days, I can make this happen. I suggest you do the same.

    Watch out for procrastination

    If something is on your to-do list for more than 3 days, you’re procrastinating. It’s time to figure out why so that you can avoid procrastination and actually get the task done.

    You’ll find this worksheet HERE helpful for overcoming procrastination.

    Keep a master task list to use when you make your daily to-do list

    Keep a list of all the tasks you can think of that need to be done now and in the future. This serves as a great first step in creating your to-do list. Then, when it comes to creating your daily to-do list you use your master list first.

    Secret to an effective daily to-do list

    A shorter to-do list beats a longer to do list every single time.

    Took the tree down today. It will be making the go Took the tree down today. It will be making the goats down the street at @three.acre.farm happy soon. Ornaments are a work in progress. System. It’s all about systems. When people ask how we can stay on top of things in our home, systems is always my answer. There is a system for everything. Including the Christmas tree. Nothing ever goes exactly as planned, but a system helps keep you on top rather than feeling like you’re always swallowed up by the crazy.  Life can be easier. It’s all about coming up with systems based on what isn’t working. So, you figure out how to make it work better. And you try it. See how it goes. 

This year is the year our Christmas tree system is finally brilliant. It’s only been 5+ years in the making. 

What systems would make your life easier? I share mine all the time in case they’ll help you.

    My favorite Christmas gift. One of my daughters ha My favorite Christmas gift. One of my daughters hand lettered this for me. She chose this verse for me - she knows it’s a verse I need to sear into my heart. Then she put it in this frame. Now, it is the most important thing on my desk. This might be the most treasured possession I ever have.
