The schedule you created in the last lesson includes the daily tasks that you must, should, or want to complete.   To stay on track with your schedule or adapt your schedule in case of change, you will need to have a clear picture of what must be accomplished within each day.   Those details allow you to better evaluate the cost and benefit of change and to adapt to accommodate your changing needs. 

Follow Andrew’s example, look at the schedule you created in the last lesson, and write a daily to-do-list for the first school day showing on next week’s schedule.  Starting with your weekly schedule, zoom on the activities scheduled for that day to consider how to build your to-do list.  

Use your 2.5 Daily-To-Do List form to create an itemized list of the specific tasks you must complete. Try to keep things manageable by limiting your list to ten or fewer items.  You can group small tasks (e.g., sending emails or making phone calls) into one task.   

Once you made your list, consider the importance of each item on your list. Then rate each task using the Priority Level A, B, and C format that Andrew used. As you continue to take control of your schedule this year, make a commitment to use a daily-to-do list with assigned priorities.
