How to create a to do list every night and do all the things on it the next day
How I did it: If you can't find a pad of paper in your home then go and buy one from a $2 shop. Write down all the things that you can currently think of that you know need remembering. Add any date or time sensitive information next to the task. Then go out and do it! So much easier than keeping a diary, because I found with a diary that I wouldn't take it out with me, I'd forget to do things or run out of time and then would have to rewrite tasks on different days. Now, as a piece of paper, it can fold up into my pocket or wallet. Tasks are crossed off as I do them, I find that if I can remember to do them I can find the time to get them done! If time runs out then I don't need to waste time renewing the list, I just make sure it continues on the next day!
Lessons & tips: I've heard that some people keep it on their night stand so as to see it first thing in the morning. I like keeping mine on the fridge door.
Resources: Pens and paper are all that are needed. Various colours are for individual taste.

I was just getting used to writing everything down when I realised this morning that I couldn’t find where my little notebook has gone! I have to start again!

Wow! I’ve been writing out a to do list for the past three days and I’m so very glad that I did! I’ve just noticed a pottery class I want to take starts TOMORROW morning! I had forgotten all about it! But I just rang up and I’m still in the class! A great start to this new organisation!

I seem to do this only when I feel I’m in a crunch and a crisis, but I would love to develop some system to help myself remember the things I need to do!
