Moving Beyond the List: How to Focus Your Priorities
Many of us work from daily or weekly to-do lists to organize our lives. We fall back on lists because they are easy to make and easy to manage. At least that’s what we believe. With modern technology, however, there are much more effective ways to manage your life than relying on handwritten or typed out to-do lists.
The trouble with lists is that they are one-dimensional. A list of action items does not allow you to see your tasks in the context of the rest of your life. In order to truly focus in on the tasks that add value to your life, you need a way to see the time commitment they take and the impact they will have.
Luckily with apps like Juggle, you can turn your to-do list into a dynamic time management tool that helps you become more productive and achieve greater work-life balance.
Juggle allows you to define custom roles for each area of your life, such as Mom, Executive, Chef. Then you can identify tasks and priorities associated with each role so that you can have a big picture of all the obligations occupying your time.
Juggle moves beyond the simple task list to let you create and assign tasks to yourself with due dates and reminders. You can schedule your life out in an organized fashion instead of relying on the next item on the never-ending list of to-dos that you may have left on sticky notes at your desk.
Understanding which tasks consume more time and which give you greater value personally or professionally can help you prioritize what often seems like an insurmountable list. Focusing on priorities that give you a greater return for your effort and streamlining smaller priorities will give you greater satisfaction in completing your to-dos and may even give you more time back in life!
Download Juggle today to move beyond your to-list and into an organized routine, more focused on your priorities.
