  • Helps in time management


Remember, while making a to-do list, don’t mix things up. Be specific, realistic and have limited tasks. Go easy on yourself and make a list according to your capacity and ability to complete the respective tasks in a certain amount of time.


Track Your Habits to Know Yourself Better

Tracking your habits regularly can develop a sense of everyday accomplishment in you. Eventually, it will boost your motivation level to keep them going the next day and so forth. It will make you well aware of yourself - your likes and dislikes, your comforts and discomforts. In many cases, you don’t realize what you are doing until the action is done, therefore, keeping track of your habits is vital to improving yourself in the best possible manner.

Break Your Day Into Chunks

Segregating the day into different sections will make you feel energetic and productive. Include plenty of activities in your day. For instance, devote some time to your work or studies, eat slowly and mindfully for 15-20 minutes, go for an evening walk, take out some time for leisure activities like listening to music or talking to a loved one. It will keep you fresh and help you in following your routine effectively, without feeling tedious. 


Set Appropriate Reminders 

No matter how well you set up your to-do list, there has to be a reliable way of making sure that all the tasks are fulfilled on time by reminding yourself to actually do them. Setting reminders or alarms will help you manage your time and minimise the chances of missing out on any task or activity. It will develop a positive habit, making you an organised individual.
