Make a to-do list with a schedule builder

If you want to stop the tyranny of the to-do list, you must break the habit of letting your list tell you what to do. Build a weekly schedule instead. For example, study from 2-4 pm, exercise from 4-6 pm, work from 6-9 pm, work on the to-do list from 9-10 pm.

  • Being a schedule builder will affirm a better self-image.
  • You are more likely to stay on track by adding a fixed time.
  • You will be freed from feeling you should be doing something else.
