So, I'm still using my coil-bound notebook as my to-do list. It still works very well, although when I'm away a lot, I find that I just use one page for a whole week. I still like having the left page blank for comments and notes and appointments. That works well. Mind you, there are some items on my list that have been there since September, which means they are almost hitting 9 months old. Definitely time to complete some of them and clear some space in my life!
The other thing is this... being away a lot... I find that the to-do list for work gets longer and longer, as things start to pile up. Seeing it all as a big long list is kind of disheartening actually. I've read elsewhere, that it's a good idea to just focus on the top 3 things to accomplish in one day. Which makes sense to me. Rather than working a little bit on 10 things in one day and completing none of them, it would be far more satisfying to work on 3 things and complete all of them.
Sometimes that doesn't always work, as there always seem to be little extra things that pop up during the day. Emails from people. Requests from people. Things that need to get handled "now"! But again, if I only have 3 things to accomplish today, then it doesn't feel so overwhelming.
And of course, there is always the thing of creating the time for what I need to accomplish. Just be in the space of "more than enough time"... and see what can get done.
