Steemian, the first step is not to confuse the lists of tasks with the lists of pending things.
The lists of pending things are those trivial activities, which have to be done, but which will not bring you closer to your value goals.
Task lists are those that focus on achieving your most important goals.
Of course you have to go shopping at the supermarket, take the children to school, wash the car, and a host of similar activities. That's your to-do list.
So you fully comply, none of that will make your life exceed.

The Secrets to make your to-do list:
1- Remember, that people want to put you to do things.
Do not let that happen. Be the owner of your decisions. Make your to-do list and stick to them. If you start to please what others want you to do, there is no way that you can reach the time and energy to finish what you have to do.
Learn to delegate those activities that take away time and that another person can do. Focus on your list of tasks.
On the other hand, do things without leaving them for later, that what it does is create emergencies. That's the worst for your productivity, having to put out fires, instead of doing what you have is your to-do list.
2-Do you know when you are going to finish your homework?
If you do not set a time limit, a task that would have taken you 15 minutes suddenly becomes a week. Set limits, establish order and priorities.
3-Examine the circumstances and make decisions.
Do not get emotionally react when something happens to you. Keeping calm, and being proactive is the key to being productive.
Entering into action, maintaining serenity, is what will give you control.
4-Choose the right activities, the important ones.
So your list will only have a few assignments. Do you realize the importance of having an action plan?
5-Do the important tasks in their correct order, and focus on them.
Doing them at the right time is what will make you own your productivity.
Those who spend all day busy, living a pressure that will burst at any time, neglecting other areas of life such as family, or health; It is the symptom that he does not know how to do task lists.

Do you want to be more productive? Do you want me to give you the time? Do you want to eliminate the burden of your day to day?
Learn and execute Smart Task Lists.
This is how successful men and women do it. They do not waste their time on little things that take them from here to there; indulging the whims of others
They focus on what will work for them, and bite them, like a Pit Bull.
Do not let go of that task until you chew it, crush it against your teeth and fangs.
If you want to be successful, you must build your dream brick by brick. Steps by step, block by block.
If you have a goal that is going to take months, what are you doing worrying if you've only been here for a week?
Do not let anxiety take over your life. The List of Smart Tasks, well executed, will let you enjoy the tour.
Do you remember that 41% of the lists do not end?
One of the reasons, is because they do not put mini tasks.
Mini tasks are the activities that you can do in a day. Do not put on your Smart List, jobs that will take months and years to complete.
Are you going to build a house? Do not go to put, "I'm going to build a house." You can not do that in a day.
What you can do in a day, will be, "Meet the architect", I think you understood.
If a task takes less than 30 minutes to do, do not include it in your to-do list.
You must take care that only activities are on your list that if you do them, they will bring you closer to your goals.
Give them completion date, and go into action.
Now, steemian.
