THIS MONTH’S ARTICLE	Getting Through Your To-Do List! With everything going on this month and that I see ahead – hello, deadlines – I have to be quite organized to get it all done. Here are some tips for accomplishing all that’s on your to-do list. 1. Start with a written plan. Clear, written goals are essential. What is the major goal and what are the sub-tasks? It lets me focus easily and assures I don’t forget anything. 2. Prioritize the tasks and set deadlines. You need to determine when all the sub-tasks need to be done for the goal to be completed. I also like to build in a little extra time. And, you might find out that not everything on your list will get done, so focus first on those activities that have the greatest impact on results. 3. Make a daily schedule. Take time either first thing in the morning or the night before to plan your day. Then take daily action toward your goals. How you work toward your goals will vary. You may like to work on one project to completion or divide your day into large blocks for different tasks. 4. Create and use systems if possible. I allow extra time if needed. 5. Not everything on your list will get done. Remember the 80/20 rule. Twenty percent of your activity results in 80 percent of your results. Concentrate on work in the 80 percent; that’s where your ROI (return on investment) will be. 6. And, finally, let go of perfectionism. This is a hard one for me. One of my mentors says to work to “good enough.” It might be that you set a timer for some of the tasks and what you accomplish in that time is “good enough.” One of my favorite resources for getting things done is Nirvana.com. There’s many other recourses online, but this one works for us. How do you handle getting everything done on your list?
