The principle behind the To-Do List
- At the end of the week, write a list with everything you want to get done.
- At the end of the day, write a list containing what parts of that weekly list you want to be finished with tomorrow.
After you finish your daily list, you don't work on more projects or tasks. After you complete the weekly list, you're done for the week.
