It is wonderful how much work can be got through in a day, if we go by the rule—map out our time, divide it off, and take up one thing regularly after another. To drift through our work, or to rush through it in a helter-skelter fashion, ends in comparatively little being done. "One thing at a time" will always perform a better day's work than doing two or three things at a time. By following this rule, one person will do more in a day than another does in a week.

To-do list: I love a to-do list. I have one in front of me on my desk at this very moment. Ta-da list: I was surprised to learn that many people get very fired up by making a ta-da list. By reminding themselves of everything they've already accomplished, they find the drive to continue. Could-do list: Some people do better when they're reminded that they have a choice. They make a "could-do" list, of everything they could do, if they feel like it. (Rebels, looking at you!) To-day list: Some people get overwhelmed when they think of everything they need to do. By focusing on what needs to get done today, they stay focused and productive.
