Why to-do lists make you more productive – even if you never finish everything on them – Business Insider

Why to-do lists make you more productive – even if you never finish everything on them – Business Insider

December 20, 2016 By Robert M Leave a Comment

Productivity is something we can all benefit from, and there are a lot of ways you can work to improve your productivity. To-do lists are one of many activities people use to become more productive and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. But there is a major divide when it comes to to-do lists. There are those who believe that lists help keep them accountable and on track, and those who believe that lists do nothing more than create an environment of stress.

Key Takeaways:

  • The whole point of a to-do list — even a really snazzy color-coded one — is to eventually throw it away.
  • You win the productivity game when you accomplish everything you set out to, or so conventional thinking goes.
  • Except maybe conventional thinking is wrong; maybe there’s a less obvious path to productivity.

“the process of thinking ahead about the steps involved can help prime you to do the work ahead. First you need to do research; then you need to write, then you need to revise. And there are probably other, smaller steps along the way.”
