Whether you\u2019re a to-do list amateur or pro, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll agree that there\u2019s nothing more satisfying than ticking items off your to-do list? But what if you\u2019re struggling to get those items ticked off, or can\u2019t even begin to write your list? Don\u2019t panic, we\u2019ve got just the tips for you to keep you beautifully organised and productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Invest in some gorgeous stationery
<\/strong>We might be slightly biased, but doesn\u2019t having a cute notepad<\/strong><\/a> and some sticky labels<\/strong><\/a> make list making so much more exciting? Who wants to tick tasks off of an A4 plain notepad? Not us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Tackle the most daunting task first
<\/strong>Everyone has that one item on their to-do list that makes its way from one rewritten list to the next. Our advice? Grin and bear it and get it done first. The sense of feel-good when you finally get to put a huge tick next to that monster task sets you up for ticking off many more, so go for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Keep your list somewhere accessible
<\/strong>Guilty of jotting down reminders on the back of random bits of paper? Then make sure you\u2019ve got a list pad in your handbag to keep all those notes in one place. Whether you want to store your list on your desk, fridge or in your handbag, we\u2019ve got you covered with pads with magnetic backs or a handy pen loop for when you\u2019re out and about! Choose from a pretty selection of list pads here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Never start the day on a half-ticked list
<\/strong>Checking your list in the morning and realising you didn\u2019t finish half of what you aimed to do yesterday can be really de-motivating. Scrap your old list the night before and write yourself a new one. No excuses needed to use your lovely notepad again right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Break it down
<\/strong>There\u2019s no point setting yourself tasks like \u201cclean the kitchen\u201d which could take you hours to gain one little tick off your list. Instead, try breaking your list into more manageable chunks such as \u201cput washing away\u201d, \u201cload dishwasher\u201d and \u201csweep and mop floor\u201d. That way, you can keep focused on what you want to achieve, as well as getting the satisfaction of ticking off lots of items!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
