As a new year approaches, you're likely reflecting on how to live a
better life. Whether you seek convenience, effectiveness, or success
with goals, consider using To-Do lists. Even if you have a great
memory, your mind can always use a little help holding onto
everything you need to do.
If you use To-Do lists, you'll feel confident that nothing will fall
through the cracks. Also, not trying to recall every single thing will
help reduce your stress.

2. Putting things down on paper means you don't have to expend your
precious energy trying to recall scads of small details and tasks to
do. Instead, you can confidently accomplish projects and daily goals
with minimal effort. This way, you save your energy for the big
things, the ones that really matter.
Over time, as you use To-Do lists for daily accomplishments, you'll
notice a boost in your confidence. It makes sense that if you achieve
more in a day, you'll feel better about yourself.
Try this simple, effective system:
1. Buy a spiral notebook. Write "To-Do List" on the front of it in
big letters. Utilize this notebook only for this purpose.
• Get the size of notebook that will be most convenient for you.
If you like a full size 8 ½ x 11 inch notebook, go for it! If you
prefer one that fits in a purse, that's good, too.
1. Make a commitment to yourself. Always use your notebook as
your To-Do list. Avoid writing your lists on scraps of paper here
and there. Put your name on the notebook.
• Your To-Do list is your key to experiencing more success in
everything you do. Nothing builds confidence like knowing

is write down tasks to be completed and goals to be met. Then
do them!
1. Start using your To-Do list today. Open the notebook and on
the first page, start listing all the tasks you want to complete.
Don't worry about big projects versus small tasks. It doesn't
matter how many pages it takes to think of every project/task/
errand you want to finish.
2. Celebrate completing tasks. When you finish a task, cross it off
the list.
• As you learn to depend on your To-Do list, you'll find you worry
less about whether you'll complete tasks. Your confidence will
grow as you learn that when it's on the list, it'll get done. Plus,
putting a line through completed tasks will build feelings of
success.
1. Tear out old pages. Eventually, you'll start to have pages where
every task has been completed and crossed out.
• It's an amazing feeling to realize you're getting things done
every single day. Sure, some days you'll get more done than
other days, but still, you're doing something to be proud of.
Who would've thought you'd feel so confident, just tearing out
a page from a spiral notebook?
A simple to-do list will bolster your confidence in many different
ways. You'll be proud that you planned ahead and followed through

page of completed tasks will boost your confidence enormously.
Writing down what you want to accomplish in a day can be an
integral part of an organized, effective and self-assured life. Start
living today and every day with more optimism and confidence by
making use of To-Do lists.
