In this video I want to talk about creating to do list. This is a huge task that some people have trouble with. And me personally, I was having a little bit of trouble too, because when you are creating to do list, it's very easy to start using pieces of paper opposites and then start putting deposits everywhere. And then when you look around you if you have a lot of posits, and then you have a lot of To Do List going at the same time. It's really challenging to focus on one and it's really easy to forget something. And sometimes you have those lists even in different locations in your home.
Sometimes you have one on your fridge, sometimes you have one on your desk, sometimes you have one on our notebook, maybe one in your car, who knows. So at the end of the day, it's very difficult to keep track of them. And a lot of my clients are suffering of like feeling overwhelmed and not having clarity and focus because they don't have a proper system on how to keep The To Do list. So I want to share with you a thing that I started doing not long ago, I was inspired by by Samantha she started journaling. And then she started up writing down on a notebook, everything that she was doing and how she was feeling, and also the to do list that she wanted to get done. So in my case, I have a notebook like this one.
And then what I started doing is I tried to use only one notebook. These one I brought everything in here. And I also included to do list in the back of the notebook. As you can see, there is a little pocket in this pocket I can I can keep up scrap pieces of paper and that's what I use for my to do lists. And everything is in this notebook. And I carry this notebook with me everywhere I go.
If I'm going to a course if I'm going to a presentation, if I'm having a meeting, I will write the date I will write Who am I meeting with and then I will take the notes there. So at the end of the day, everything is in one notebook. If I need to reflect on something, I can just grab that notebook and go back. And it helped me a lot to keep everything in one place. I also use technology. In this case, I use my phone, and I use an app called Google Keep.
And I also use Trello. And those are really good apps that allow you to keep track and then I can share that note without with Samantha or with another person. And sometimes a trainer will allow me to keep track of more complicated and elaborated to do lists. When you have different layers of information that you need to keep track. Trello is one that helps me a lot. For example, if I have a great idea about giving a talk, I will have a section that is called talks and then I will write down the ideas that I have saved for blogging say for like, how to sell to clients or whatever you have in your mind.
You can create a section and then you can run it down there. Another thing that I do sometimes the Haifa something important in my notebook that I don't want to lose, I will take a photo, and I will save that photo on my Google Drive. Or you can also use Dropbox or you can sync it to your computer. And then if you happen to lose this notebook, you won't lose all the information that you need. So that's a really great idea because one of the things that we run into sometimes is like what happens if you lose the notebook. And of course if you lose a notebook, everything that is inside is gone.
But if you take a photo of the important pieces that will allow you to have it forever. So these are just a few ideas on how to create and keep a to do list. We hope it's helpful and we will see you in the next video.
