That being said, there are always little tricks you can pick up to help you along the way. I hear ya, its often hard to keep track of all you need to do.

It allows me to see everything that i need to do and prioritise. Plus, I really feel like I've accomplished something when I cross the completed items off. Day planners are great - but only if you look at them. My fiance keeps trying to use a day planner because he's constantly double booking himself, but once he's written something in it he generally doesn't look in it again. By the way, I'm loving this blog. Keep it up. I love keeping a to-do list. It allows me to see everything that i need to do and prioritise.

She is religious in keeping a running to-do list in her Franklin Planner for both work and personal tasks. So when the weekend comes she gets way more done than I do. I go in spurts with keeping to do list, but when I do it does give me more focus. This especially helps when I land a freelance illustration job and need to manage my time between my 8-5 fulltime job, the client and my personal life. Regarding the planners - my girlfriend likes the daily planner and carries over the to-do list each day. I prefer monthly or weekly planners to get a bigger picture of how to manage my time, and partly because I'm too lazy to keep a daily list. Good idea on the internet timer!
