I have a similar system to yours, but I really like the addition of the time frame. I still struggle with time and what I do with it, but I think getting focused on the time frame in which you want to accomplish something will help with you plan of attach and , ultimately, how much you get accomplished. I will try your suggestion.

The idea of creating such solid time boundaries is really appealing, since I'm feeling like the list never ends lately. I love the idea of adding in some fun things. I can't think of anything better than being able to getting to do something fun *and* getting to cross it off a list! It's easy to delay the fun stuff and just power through, but it never really pays off for me in the long run. I think this is definitely a tip I'm taking to the bank. <em>Sara at On Simplicity's last blog post..<a href='http://www.onsimplicity.net/2008/07/quick-and-dirty-pantry-clean-up/' rel="nofollow">Quick and Dirty Pantry Clean-up</a></em> I tend to frontload my to-do list because I usually lose steam after the first few items.

Hey Marc and Angel, when I pick a few things to accomplish I seem to get a lot more done. I just go right on to something new. I think that's a great idea to complete my three tasks and stop for the night. I'll try that tomorrow. Hey Davina, when we are organized work is so much more enjoyable. All it takes is a little planning. I would like to see your board someday. Maybe you could send a photo? Hey Lance, great quote.

Very good tips. Another tool I've found helpful is to write "to-do" items on post-it notes and stick them on a board. You can prioritize them and colour code them easily this way, removing them as they are completed. <em>Davina's last blog post..<a href='http://lovingpulse.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/magic-happens/' rel="nofollow">Magic Happens</a></em> I sooo love process and organization.
