Prioritize Your Tasks for Maximum Progress


Most people don’t know how to prioritize tasks. They’re constantly overwhelmed, miss deadlines and forget important meetings and events. They don’t manage their time effectively and never make to-do lists.

To-do lists are imperative to get your time-management skills under control. It’s not just a matter of writing down what you have to do, it’s a matter of knowing how to prioritize the most important tasks first and the less important ones after.

An effective to-do list should be written in the evening or first thing in the morning and organized so that it’s easy to move from one step to another. A well-organized to-do list can help you overcome procrastination and achieve goals, constantly moving toward reaching your ultimate success.

As you complete each task on the daily to-do list, be sure to cross them off. This provides a visual sense of accomplishment and helps you move forward with the remainder of your list – and the lists to come.

Taking the time to write a to-do list and prioritizing your list, will save you tons of time when you begin to work through the tasks. You’ll be amazed at how it eliminates wasted time and effort throughout the day.

To-do lists don’t have to be inflexible. You’ll be able to add new tasks to the list as they occur and in order of importance. If there are too many tasks on your list to accomplish in one day, move the ones you didn’t complete to the next day and prioritize accordingly. 

Any project can benefit by creating a to-do list that is prioritized, in the order they must be accomplished to complete the tasks.  A well-organized list of tasks not only improves productivity – it also gives you more confidence and control of your life.

You’ll also become more motivated to accomplish even more with your life. Each task you complete provides insight and motivation you need to be more effective in all areas of your life.

Also, think about how you would organize weekly and monthly tasks. The daily tasks should lead you toward the finish of tasks to be completed on a weekly basis and those will motivate you to complete monthly obligations or tasks.

It provides a great overall picture of what must be done on a long-term basis and will help you to confidently organize the daily to-do list. 

Powerful momentum is created by working from a to-do list. You’ll move faster and work more efficiently than ever before and you’ll eventually become a master of your time and effort.

A Woman's Independence and Self-Reliance

  Being an independent woman is a life skill that will empower you to take control of your life and rely on yourself to accomplish your dreams. The more independent you are, the more freedom you have to focus on what matters most to you and to attain your goals in ways that are important to you. Being an independent woman is not about being alone but it is about honoring your own needs and values over those of others. Independence is the foundation of your adult life. It’s the thing that allows you to make decisions for yourself, do things for yourself, and move through life without a constant feeling of self-doubt or regret. No one reaches the end of their lives regretting the adventurous things they did do. We do, however, often regret the things we didn’t have the courage or ability to do.  We all have that family member or friend who likes to constantly offer their free advice, or explanation as to why you should live your life a certain way.  Maybe your favorite aunt...

The Skill of Self-Advocacy for Women

Self-advocacy is an important skill that allows women to communicate their needs effectively with others. This includes everyone from bosses to friends, relatives, and spouses.  When women master this skill, they can navigate life more easily with resilience, assertiveness, and confidence.  Here are a few examples of what it means to be your own self-advocate: Asking for a raise at work and providing legitimate evidence that supports your request.   Telling a friend you don’t eat seafood when they recommend it for dinner and suggesting the two of you come up with another idea that pleases everyone involved.   Asking a teacher if you can take a math test in a separate room or after class if you get test anxiety.   These are all very different examples; but they each communicate a vital part of self-advocacy which is understanding the value you bring to the table, communicating your preferences clearly, and recognizing what you need to feel in contr...

  Building your skills to have better conversations in your career or business helps you reach your goals and build relationships with others.    When women feel confident and comfortable they can easily converse with others. But when they are nervous and afraid, which happens all too often in business and work situations, it’s another story. The good news is women can learn different ways to start conversations that are effective. The key is to practice so you get better. Begin by keeping it simple. Have a follow up plan after the initial hello, how are you? Don’t use a clever ice breaker that could blow up on you. Leave the jokes or snappy stories out of the initial conversation as well.   Be yourself and don’t try to say something that isn’t natural to your personality. Give the person you're speaking to a compliment about something such as a project they just finished, a presentation they gave or how organized they are. Ask open-ended questions that require more ...
