Task Management: Use tools; don’t rely on memory.

Do:

• • Choose a task management system that works for you.
  • Capture all your tasks and ideas in one place.
  • Organize your tasks by project, priority, or due date.
  • Set reminders and deadlines for yourself.
  • Regularly review and update your task list.

Don’t:

• • Try to keep everything in your head.
  • Use multiple, disconnected systems for tasks.
  • Let your task list become overwhelming and unmanageable.
  • Procrastinate by adding tasks without completing them.

Takeaway: Your brain is for having ideas, not holding them. A good task management system frees up your mental energy and keeps you focused on getting things done.
