What are some tips to effectively use a to-do list for time management?

To effectively use a to-do list for time management, you can follow these tips: 1. Prioritize your tasks: Not all tasks are equally important. Identify the tasks that are most important and need to be done first. 2. Break down large tasks: Large tasks can be overwhelming. Break them down into smaller, manageable tasks. 3. Set deadlines: Deadlines help you stay focused and avoid procrastination. 4. Keep your list updated: As you complete tasks, cross them off your list. If new tasks come up, add them to your list. 5. Keep your list manageable: Don't overload your to-do list. If you have too many tasks, you may feel overwhelmed and not know where to start.

Question was asked on:

Did you know that only 12% of people surveyed in 2022 use a dedicated time management system? 88% of employees don't use a proper system but instead rely on their calendars, inbox, and some sort of to-do list to get by. Those that don't use a to-do list just work it out as they go along. Of those surveyed, only 44% feel they have things under control 5 days a week, while 46% only feel in control for one or two days a week. (source)
