Image Credit: Rawia Inaim<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nNow that you can see the big picture of your semester and weekly priorities, the next step is to create a daily to-do list to prioritize your tasks.\u00a0 You may wish to use a paper planner for your lists, or track your tasks on your smartphone.\u00a0 Do what works best for you.\u00a0 Here are some principles to consider as you create your to-do list:<\/p>\n
\n- At the end of each day’s work, take a few minutes to plan the following day.<\/li>\n
- Write down each task you hope to accomplish. Indicate which tasks are the highest priority.<\/li>\n
- Break large tasks into smaller units.\u00a0 Consider what you will accomplish in one work period (usually about one hour before taking a break).\u00a0 Create tasks that are well-defined; you should know when the task is finished.\u00a0 For example, “work on research paper” does not have a clear goal.\u00a0 By changing this to “find three academic articles for research paper”, or “create research paper outline”, you will be able to clearly see what you need to accomplish.\u00a0 You will also be able to reward yourself for successful completion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Check off tasks as you complete them.\u00a0 This will increase your sense of accomplishment and create forward momentum.\u00a0 When you have finished the day’s tasks, celebrate with a well-earned reward.\u00a0 Move any tasks yet to be completed to tomorrow’s task list.<\/p>\n
