Summary

Scheduled to do lists are an effective way of learning to manage your daily task list more effectively.

By estimating your tasks at the start of the day, you become more realistic on what you can accomplish, can better make prioritization and trade-off off decisions on what to do, and can track your progress throughout the day and make adjustments if needed.

If deadlines motivate you, the mini-deadlines created by a scheduled to do list can help you drive forward through your tasks faster and more effectively than when you have all day to accomplish all of your tasks.

Whether you use a paper system, the provided spreadsheet or another system, add scheduled to do lists into your arsenal of tools for effectively managing your time and living a more strategic life.
