How to make lists to make your day to day more practical and healthy

The tool helps you manage time, prevents forgetting tasks and raises your self-confidence.

 

In addition to being a resource that has become popular, names such as Madonna, John Lennon and Thomas Edison are part of the team of list lovers. And more: drawing up lists helps to empty the mind, since we can keep 4 thoughts at the same time, as the neuroscientist Daniel Levitin says.

 

Neuroscience explains the reason for this: it becomes easier to understand and memorize tasks when we divide them into categories. Processing information in the form of lists is like taking a detox green juice, instead of chewing a whole cabbage, according to writer Maria Konnikova, author of the best-selling Mastermind. 

 

Writing the lists on paper and leaving them in a visible place helps a lot in the organization and in your daily directing. But if you prefer apps, you can invest in some like Todoist (Todoist: A to do list to organize life and work), Microsoft To Do and Evernote (Download Evernote for free | Evernote).

 

And for the success of your lists, try to jot down everything you need to do and then categorize into daily tasks and priorities. In addition, if you have difficulty starting a task, you can divide it into smaller tasks to be able to accomplish them.

 

Divide the lists by topics, such as:

 

Hobbies and what you like to do: it also includes simpler goals, such as books you would like to read, friends you want to meet again, and that series to watch over the weekend. And also to reinvent yourself, which you can check out more in the post
