***UPDATED on 12/26/22*** The Dreaded TO DO List Are you one of those people that can't seem to get all the list checked off in one day? You are not alone! Try something different until you get in the groove of getting most of the items checked off! Prioritize your list. Make sure you have the most important thing for the day completed. Then move on to the medium jobs to get done. After those are completed, you can move on to the less important but would like to get those done if you can. If you use an app, stick to just one app.  If you have too many list apps, you will get so confused. When you have an item on your list, put as many details in so you know how long it will take to complete. Don't forget to mark ✅ DONE ✅ or cross that item off your list!
