What All IMers Need to Know About Finding To-Do List Success

By Roland Mac Fleury


If you want to succeed in Internet Marketing, you need to be able to construct a super solid foundation for your business and learn to be so organized that you have no choice but to be productive. A tool that most of the online marketers are familiar with is the to-do list, which helps a lot in getting things done. Of course, to truly get a to-do list to work for you, you need to work on it consistently. In order to achieve this goal, use the tips in this article.

Clear Your Schedule: You will be shocked at how much can be accomplished when you dedicate a large amount of time to something so that you can get into "the zone" with it instead of just working on it for a minute or two here and there. Once you get your regular errands of your day out of your way, you'll find it much more easier to complete your to-do list as it will give you the needed boost and the time to get things done. If you don't clear your schedule it won't take much at all for you to get distracted from finishing your to-do list. Begin by writing out a list of errands and chores you'll know what you need to do to make sure that you will be free to really focus on the things you need to finish to increase your day's productivity.

Set Some Rest Breaks: When you work for long periods of time it can drain your mental function and energy reserves. So if you want to be able to move easily from one task to the next on your list, it is important to schedule a "rest break" after finishing each of the tasks (or sets of tasks) so that you can reinvigorate yourself and find the energy to keep working. Of course, make sure that you set your rest breaks for measured amounts of time and that they don't last too long or else it could be detrimental to your productivity. Your whole aim here is to charge yourself up from time to time so that you're able to pull through your long day and actually finish one task after another on your to-do list.

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. Leave the List Visible All Day Long: If you'd like to make sure that you are always taking action on your to-do list it needs to be somewhere that you can easily see it because putting it away let's you forget that it exists. It's important that you pay attention to making it impossible to ignore your to-do list, no matter where your attention might be directed otherwise. For example, if you keep your to-do list on a computer application, make sure that the application stays open somewhere on your screen so that it is in front of your face all the time. Beyond that, keeping the list in front of your face will add a sense of urgency to it so that you will be compelled to keep taking action so that you can cross items off of the list.

Building a to-do list is just a fancy way of planning out your day and increasing your productivity while you do so so it makes sense that you create the list at the beginning of your day. If there's anything that deserves your focus as an IMer, it should be getting as much as you can done as quickly as you can and having a great to-do list can really help accomplish that.
