Create 3 different to-do lists:<ul><li>Important but non-time sensitive projects list</li><li>Items that need to be completed today list</li><li>Not-to-do list</li></ul>

Get Your System Under Control

The purpose of this list is to know the tasks the are not important and are not worthwhile. There are a lot of things worthy of your time and getting rid of those unnecessary tasks will give you more time to complete more important tasks.

The Not-to-do List

<ul><li>Reevaluate your to-do list: Identify the goals and determine how the items in your list impact your aims.</li><li>Create your not to-do list: Cut those unimportant tasks in your to-do list and paste it on your no to-do list. By doing this, you must accept that your time is limited and commit on letting them go.</li><li>Evaluate new tasks: From then on, once a new assignment arrives, evaluate its importance and the effects of it with your goals.</li></ul>
