I found recently that I was forgetting a lot of small work related tasks and in some cases letting people down. I knew that I had to do something about this before I started annoying people and losing work. So I decided to start a TO DO list.

A TO DO list is something that I feel everybody should be using. If done efficiently you will not forget things and annoying little tasks that have to be done will be staring at you everytime you look at it. I find this forces me to get them out of the way.

How should you go about creating and maintaining your TO DO list?

I used to use a paper list and although this can be done, it has it’s own problems, such as being stuffed in a pocket or left in a bag. So I suggest using Google Docs.

Google have a very easy to use cool document suite that is easily accessible and will take minutes for you to set up. They also offer an offline syncronisation of all your docs, allowing you to work offline too. When you log in to Google Docs, the on and offline documents are synced.

So get yourself a Google Account and start using Google docs today. You will increase your productivity and organization without too much extra work.
