Making Your Task List Manageable

With the New Year just passing, many are trying to accomplish new things. Others are just trying to accomplish something! They make task list after list only to find that the amount of work is unmanageable and just plain discouraging. Or their list does manage to get things crossed off, but there is always those one or two things that remains on the list for the entire year because they manage to keep adding new things while avoiding those one or two original things.

Why not try making the task list more manageable? Try putting only three to five things on the list at a time and do not add anything new until all three to five things are completed. Once completed, you are free to add new things.

This method does not work for all people, but it does help for those who tend to put off that "one thing" way too long.
