Evaluating To-Do Lists for Productivity

Before effectively following through on tasks, it is essential to evaluate and align your to-do list with your goals. Many adults with ADHD mistakenly assume that their list contains the right tasks without critically assessing what truly matters. It's highlighted that prioritization is crucial, as one can only follow through on certain tasks at any given time. This approach helps prevent overwhelming oneself with unnecessary responsibilities and allows for focused, meaningful productivity.
