"How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."
If you've ever ran more than a few miles, you probably understand why you need to pace yourself. Runners that sprint at the start of a race will be exhausted far before they cross the finish line. The same principle applies when trying to get work done. One solution for pacing my work that I've found incredibly effective is maintaining weekly/daily to-do lists.

Time managements
The principle behind the WD To-Do List method is simple:
- At the end of the week, write a list containing everything you want to get accomplished.
- At the end of the day, write a list containing what parts of that weekly list you want to be finished tomorrow.
After you finish your daily list, you stop. Don't work on more projects or tasks. You have the rest of the day to relax. And after you finish the weekly list, you're done for the week. This means if you finish by Friday afternoon, you don't start work again until Monday morning.
Although this technique might sound obvious (and it is), there are some key advantages using a WD system has over the typical, Getting Things Done approach of keeping Next Action or project lists.
