In my post last Friday I wrote about the "Forgetful Mind." To combat the forgetful mind -- or as I rationalize it: I'm older, have more responsibility, which means more things to remember, and I can't remember them all... -- I make "to-do" lists.
I have a running to-do list of things, both personal and professional, I want to get done, and that list just keep growing. There's no way I could remember all the things I am trying to get accomplished without my to-do list.
Even without the forgetful mind I've always made to-do lists. At least I've made them since I have had to manage things to get done - probably starting in high school.
My to-do list process has evolved over time, but there is one constant: I have to have them typed/written on paper. I have tried to manage them electronically - and I do store them electronically - but, for execution, I need a piece of paper.
If I remember correctly, the human mind can remember about seven things at any given point - that's why a phone number has seven numbers. My current to-do list has thirty-nine items. Obviously, I'm not going to remember all thirty-nine items, and recall them when I need them most.
A simple to-do list system helps keep me on track.
