Taking Effective Action With Your To-do List

By Victorino Lazardo


Increasing your productivity as an Internet marketer is all about knowing how to get organized in the best possible way so that you get things done on time. In this article we'll teach you how to create your to-do list in a way that automatically increases your level of productivity.

Get the Worst Done First: Perhaps the biggest challenge you will face when composing a to-do list is actually being able to take action.

It is really easy to get distracted when you aren't focused on taking regular action and that means that the majority of your to-do list might be left untouched at the end of your day. Finding good motivation and the enthusiasm for success is important if you want to be able to overcome this problem. Finishing the hard stuff before moving on to the easy stuff is a great way to build up this motivation. That's right: list them at the top of your list and then tackle them as soon as you start your day. Because productivity levels and energy levels are highest at the start of your day the hard task will seem simple. And knowing that you've taken care of the worst already, you'll automatically take off the burden off your chest - giving you the motivation to move through the rest of the tasks on your list. Add Tasks to Your List, Not Goals: Perhaps the reason that most Internet Marketers fail to finish their to-do lists is because they start to feel overwhelmed. This usually happens when you add tasks that are big enough to be goals. Your to-do list needs to be made up of doable tasks that can help you actually achieve your end goals. These tasks should be small enough that you can actually achieve them fairly quickly so that you can know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you are moving ahead so that you can reach your objective. You need to make sure, too, that your tasks are clear and not murky. For example, "Get More Leads" is vague so it isn't really a task, but "Call 5 Prospects" is a task that is clear and easily achievable.

Have a Separate Section to Write Down Your Ideas: It's really common, while you're working through your to-do list, to get ideas for tasks that will feel like they should be taken care of right now.

Of course, you shouldn't give in to the urges because that will get in the way of your "finish my to-do list" goals. Rather than that, you should build a separate area in which you can write down your ideas and take notes when you feel like it. You can then easily take care of these other tasks later on when you've gotten done with your to-do list. If there is anything that deserves your time and attention as an Internet Marketer it is being able to get as much done as you can as quickly as you can and a good to-do list is the best first step for that.
