Organize
First, sort your tasks into two categories: Projects and Master Actions.
- Projects are your most involved tasks. E.g.-getting a wi-fi connection. This task contains a several tasks in itself. Hence, it comes under project.
- Next, break your projects down into action items. This list of project-related actions forms part of your Master Action List.
- Non-project related tasks – things like “renew driver’s license” or “book meeting room for Tuesday” – should be here, too. Basically, if it’s actionable, it goes on the Master Action List.
- Group tasks into categories like “Office,” “Home,” etc.
