✅ How to Make a To-Do List for Daily Work Activities (More Details)
1. Start With the Date
This helps keep your lists organized.
Example:
> 📅 Tuesday, September 23, 2025
2. Write Down All Tasks You Need to Do
Think of everything you need to do at work today — meetings, emails, reports, calls, etc.
Example:
Team meeting at 9:00 AM
Reply to client emails
Finish project report
Call supplier
Update sales spreadsheet
Plan next week's schedule
Review team performance
Submit invoice to finance
3. Add Time Estimates or Deadlines (If Needed)
This helps you manage your time better.
Example:
Team meeting (9:00–9:30 AM)
Reply to emails (9:30–10:00 AM)
Finish report (10:00 AM–12:00 PM)
Call supplier (by 1:00 PM)
4. Prioritize Your Tasks
Use letters (A, B, C) or numbers (1, 2, 3) to show importance.
A = High Priority (must do today)
B = Medium Priority (should do today)
C = Low Priority (do if time allows)
Example:
✅ A1: Team meeting
🔁 A2: Finish report
✅ B1: Reply to client emails
❌ C1: Plan next week's schedule
5. Break Large Tasks into Smaller Steps
If a task is big, break it down to avoid overwhelm.
Example (for 'Finish report'):
Draft main points
Add charts and visuals
Proofread and format
Send to manager for review
6. Use a Format That Works for You
Notebook
Phone app (like Todoist, Google Tasks, Notion, Microsoft To Do)
Spreadsheet
Whiteboard (if you're in an office)
7. Mark Progress as You Go
Use symbols to track status:
✅ = Completed
🔁 = Postponed
❌ = Canceled
⏳ = In progress
Example:
✅ Team meeting
⏳ Finish report
🔁 Call supplier
❌ Review team performance
