Well, friend, we’re well into August.

Back to school is in the air. The last few weeks of vacation are coming to a close. And work schedules are picking up steam.

In short, things are about to get busy.

In today’s podcast, I’m helping us get ahead of the game by diving into all things organization.

That way, when things do get busy, we’ll have our ducks in a row and we can take everything in stride.

And we are going to do this today by focusing specifically on our to-do list.

We talked a little bit about the importance of having a to-do list in the last episode. So many people simply rely on their brainpower to remember the different tasks they need to complete.

And while this might be okay for certain situations, studies have shown that for the majority of us, our memories struggle to remember more than three things at once.

So if you have more than three things to do at any given time – and since you’re listening to this podcast, I’m guessing that you do – then it would certainly benefit you to not only maintain a to-do list but also to keep it organized.

So that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today.

How to create and maintain an organized to-do list.
