I Heart Checklists!

As I work through my Plus 1 Success training, I'm trying to put into practice and implement new daily habits into my routine. My brain tends to go 400 miles a minute and on top of that, I spend my day with a very active 16 month old who keeps me running almost quite literally 400 miles a minute!
I would never remember all of my daily tasks that I want to accomplish without help. I also have a secret love for checklists. I love them! No really, I love them! If you're like me and need/want to keep your daily tasks in order there are all sorts of readily available free tools on the internet for you. I happen to use one called Zenkit. It's completely free and you can add and edit, color coating certain tasks, setting reminders and timers for them. I keep mine pretty simple and straight forward unless for some reason I do have a deadline. For the most part I just fill my daily to do list out and check it off as I go, rinse and repeat and typically use the same one the next day, adding new things as I go.
Here is a quick snapshot of my daily to do list lately:
My daily to do list.
Pretty simple right? Without it, I tend to get distracted which is incredibly easy to do as a parent of 2. I'm sure many of you can understand that and relate! And even if you're not a parent, there are a million things pulling us in different directions all day long. That's why I thought I'd share this cool free tool that I use that helps keep me going. Without it, typically my desk is filled with little note pads. This is much neater!
I hope you're having a checklist filled day! (It sounded much cooler in my head....)
To Your Success,
Janelle

I had something similar to that one, but it was a browser extension... Was using it for some time, but I forgot it very often... so I would need a reminder to my reminder... loool...
Currently, I'm not using any, except my "notes app" on the phone where I write ideas for future posts... I have built a lot of habits, which helps a lot, and if I want to add something to my daily routine, I add max 1 thing for a week, or two... After that, it gets into a new habit, and I can continue building it... :)
But, using reminders and checklists is a good way to battle against distractions!
I used to use Wunderlist but it no longer exists. Zenkit is the next best thing and I believe they have an app. But it doesn't really matter what we use as long as its efficient and works for us! I remember I used to scoff at checklist people as a kid....not anymore! :D
I think creating a list give a routine also.
Yes that is exactly right. I never thought of that part. I do love routine and naturally gravitate towards that. Which is a good thing but also really hard when it comes to stepping out of my comfort zone!
