I love making to-do lists because writing everything down makes me feel like I’m already getting things done.  Somehow, however, I then spend the day avoiding the list and doing other things. 

In an effort to complete the tasks on my list at work,  I write them on post-its and put it on my computer screen so I can see it throughout the day.

By the end of the work day, I have usually accomplished the one thing I forgot to write down. And then, the next day, I am back to writing a new list which may, or may not, include the items from the previous day. Do you have a to do list? Does it work for you? Should I stop making lists or just start making better excuses?
