Article: These will help you as you are making your daily to-do lists. When you have a large number of tasks, it is easy to let things accidentally slip through the cracks. As you make your daily list each day, go over your master list and make sure you include any task with upcoming due dates. If there is no due date for a particular task, decide on a realistic date you'd really like to have it done by. If you aren't setting goals for yourself, the less urgent things may never get done. There is no point in creating a list if you shove it in a drawer and forget about it. Make sure you are constantly seeing it! You may think that you won't forget anything or that you'll stay productive, but physically seeing a list of tasks you need to accomplish can really light the motivational fire within you. Carry it around with you. Post it on your bathroom mirror. Leave a copy in your purse and your car. Just put it somewhere where it will be in your face. It can be a parent, a friend, a significant other, or a co-worker. Just make sure it is someone who will check up on your list and inquire about your progress. You probably won't feel very good if you tell someone you didn't check anything off your to-do list for a whole day! You don't need a babysitter, and no one probably wants to be your babysitter. However, it is incredibly helpful to have someone holding you accountable.

What is a summary?
Write down due dates next to every task on your master list. Put your to-do list somewhere you will see it regularly. Share your list with someone.
