To Do Lists
Scheduling is your Key to Success
As a mom, you’re probably familiar with the concept of a to-do list. As a busy mom, you’re probably also familiar with the feeling of realizing, at the end of the day, that half of the items on your “to do list” remain “to be done.”
Despite its seeming shortcomings, the to-do list is a handy and effective tool for home-based entrepreneurs. The tricks to taming your to-do list are an organized approach and room for flexibility.
You should designate a time each day to create a daily to-do list. The best times are just before bed or first thing in the morning. Divide your list into “work” items and “home” items. Then, prioritize each item according to things that must be done, things that should be done, and things you’d like to get done. For simplicity, you can label them “A” (priority), “B” (important) and “C” (not critical—otherwise known as “wishful thinking”).
Tackle those things on your “A” list first—especially the difficult, tedious and unsavory projects. When you get the deadlines and drudgery out of the way, you’ll find you have more energy and enthusiasm for the rest of your work. After you’ve completed your A's, move on to the B’s. Get to the C’s if you have time.
It’s important to cut yourself some slack when it comes to your to-do list. Anything that remains uncompleted at the end of the day can be moved to the next day’s list. Looking at a list with several crossed-off items can be a delightful, satisfactory event. Your to-do list can provide you with the motivation you need to stick to your schedule and get things done.
