To do....or not?

This is a blurb from a Career Builder article that I came across today. I thought this was a really great way to attack a to do list. The rest of the article talks about how to help alievate a heavy workload. Of course everyone knows about "to-do" lists but I'd never heard of exposing one task at a time...

It's a neat tip- I think I might try it sometime!


Make a to-do list, then cover it up

"It may sound strange, but it works, says Jessica Carlson, an account executive at Blufish Design Studio, an advertising consulting firm.

Carlson says her team uses to-do lists to stay on task and highlight items that are a priority. "Cover up the list, except for one high-priority task at a time," she suggests. "This will allow you to focus better on the task at hand. It's easy to get overwhelmed if you're looking at a to-do list that spans an entire page. Focusing on a single item will make your tasks seem like they are more doable," Carlson says."
