Everyone (well, nearly everybody) has made a "To Do" List in their life. And that list can seem so long and terrible. With this piece of paper just looking you in the face, telling you all the tasks you have to do today, it's a little terrible, and can make doing the chores really boring.

Well, I've found a solution to this problem! First off, write your "To Do" List (you don't want to forget anything).

Then, count the number of things you have to do, put the paper somewhere where you can't see it, and get another piece of paper. Draw out one line for every thing you have to do, then split them up into a few equal parts. Call this your "Done" List. Whenever you complete a task, add it to your "Done" List!

When you reach the end of one section, take a nice break to relax. Then get up again, and do more until you get to the end of the next section, do this until you've completed all your tasks!

If you can't get all of them, check your list only when you can't remember anything else. Next, cross off your everything that's on your "To Do" List that's also on your "Done" List. Whatever's left, start doing them, adding them to your "Done" List when you finish them.

You may even find out that you did a couple extra things that you hadn't listed before, but that's okay! You accomplished more than you thought you needed to do!

Now you can look at your "Done" List, see everything you accomplished that day, and be able to feel really good about yourself!

What do you think? How well do you think the "Done" List could work for you? Post your thoughts below.
