The Self-Project: Simplifying Your To-Do Lists To Get More Done

August 25, 2007 – 7:53 pm

Project Managers, by nature, create to-do lists.  It’s our job.  It’s what we do.

Applying project management principles to our personal lives is very tempting- and dangerous.  Lives are complicated things.  They have a lot of moving parts.  It takes no time for your ‘task list’ to get horribly out of hand.

Web Worker Daily has some good advice about this:  make smaller to-do lists.  I have tried this principle, and it works.  It’s a great idea at work for your project teams as well.  Creating smaller, more easily manageable lists that you can accomplish in a short period of time creates a quick sense of accomplishment, simplifies objectives, and promotes quick action.  You spend more time doing, less time deciding what to do.  Give it a shot!
