The Handy Calendar
The important, big things can be 'baked-in' your calendar, while you keep track of meetings and appointments.
The Might-Do list acts as your goals list that you will incorporate in your coming days while doing your routine work.
MORE IDEAS FROM THE ARTICLE
Instead of checking off a list of tasks, concentrating on one big thing in a day turns out to be a lot more fruitful and gratifying.
- A To-Do list is composed of your routine activities that continue to come up daily.
- A Might-Do list is composed of the things you might do someday, things that are your goals and you will, in the course of time, schedule them in your calendar.

- Vision List - consists of everything you want to experience in life.
- 100 Days List - all the task waiting for you in the next 100 day.
- Personal Sprint Backlog or Bi-Weekly Sprint - tasks categorized by to-do, in progress, and done.
- Daily 3T List - the three most important tasks of the day.
- Not-to-do List - tasks you simply don’t do, no matter what.
Aspirational tasks, like writing a book, don’t belong on a to-do list; instead, create a separate bucket list.
Daily to-do lists should be focused. If you have a big project you want to complete, you can put it on your to-do list if you chunk it out into smaller, more attainable tasks.
Once you write down the tasks you need to perform, you then have to clear space in your day to put some of those tasks onto your calendar.
This calendar maintenance is itself a useful exercise for fighting the tide of interruptions you’re always facing. It pulls your brain out of a reactive mode and forces you to think about the long term.
