Nothing feels better than a well-crafted to-do list, and the feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day when you just check off all of your tasks. A to-do list keeps you on track, it helps you move towards your goals, and makes you feel more productive and in control of your life. If you keep your to-do list sweet and short it is more likely that you’ll actually follow through.
A productivity journal is a great tool to help you stay organized, set and define goals, store important information, and track your progress. Writing things down is like a commitment you make to yourself – it prompts you to choose a specific goal and accomplish it, and it holds you accountable. It also helps you organize and analyze your thoughts in a way that would be difficult – if not impossible – to do if you were just thinking or dreaming about it.
I truly believe in the power of good habits and that “we are what we repeatedly do”. (Aristotle). But sometimes I’m one of the world’s biggest procrastinators. I find myself distracted with everyday household chores and I can easily get lost in watching Youtube videos or some other tempting TV series.
