Focus on the Future
08-03-09
Project management is a state of mind with extra details and deadlines.
Now that I am back from my working vacation, I have a few days to evaluate the objectives I wanted to obtain during my journey, document the information and results, update my daytimer and follow up on meetings and commitments that I would like to get done by the end of 2009.
Having a written schedule ensures that you are on time to complete your agenda. A To Do list is a wise addition to your management skills as you can see everything laid out in black and white and cross off those items that you have done, as you do them. No need to keep going over a virtual list in your head causing stress, especially if you forget to do something. Eliminating mistakes is the reason I keep a To Do List.
The key to a good To Do list is to prioritize the list. Put the items that are urgent at the top and the things that can wait at the bottom. As your week goes on, some items will move to the top of the list or end up being deleted from the list entirely because a meeting gets canceled or you become ill, etc.
Your To Do List is unique from everyone else’s and will help you focus on the future. Keep it close by and check it at the beginning of each day and at the end to see what you need to move around and add to tomorrow’s list. This way you will get more done and more out of life!
In the end, enjoying life is what it is all about.
Cheers!
