You and I probably try to do alot of things – maybe too many on any given day. But regardless of whatever day it is, we all have things to accomplish and checklists to plow through. Here are a few pointers that have helped me to be productive & I still need to learn LOTS more:
- stay focused – being distracted is the enemy of getting the important things done
- make a daily list of no more than 5 things to attempt with your highest priorities at the top of the list
- be efficient with your time – make errands based on geographical proximities rather than by topics (put things that are close together on the same errand)
- maximize the small pockets of time (waiting in the carpool line, an dr’s appointment that goes late)
- delegate – getting your kids to help can be super helpful
- ask God to help you to be efficient and productive
- send random and kind text messages – it’s good for everyone including you 🙂
What else have you found helpful in being productive? Please share your wisdom, insights & help!

Great suggestions. The point I’d add is to forgive yourself if you don’t get to cross all the to-dos off your list. We’re often unduly hard on ourselves.
