Do You Love a Good List?

Are you a list maker?

I am.  And I have list for everything!  Sometimes I worry that I'm turning into Rimmer from the TV series 'Red Dwarf' who spent 7 weeks putting together his colour coordinated revision timetable which meant he only had one night left to actually revise!

I also admit that I do sometimes find my lists get so out of control and clogged with tasks that I never get to, that I end up abandoning the entire list.  This year however will be different!

 With my 'Laser-like Focus' on my business already started I've come across this suggestion in a 'SmartStartUp' blog - Give Yourself a To Do Deadline.

It suggests that if you have items on your list that just never seem to get ticked off & keep appearing on your list over & over again then you apply a three-day rule:

If the task isn't done in 3 days, then cross it off the list, give it to someone else to do or forget about it. 

If you're not getting it done in 3 days then it musn't be that important.

This seems harsh, I know, but it could actually work!
