What are your thoughts about to-do lists?

I was never a fan of a to-do list. I always thought that if you really wanted to do something, you did not need to put it on a to-do list to get it done, and that the only reason for a to-do list was to simply remind you of something you needed to do in case you forgot about it. Now I’m thinking that perhaps a to-do list is a good idea as it potentially can serve as a motivator to get things done that you need to do when you’re not feeling up to it. What are your thoughts on this matter?

Yeah same here, I used to think lists were dumb. But ngl, lately they kinda help me get my act together.

a to-do list is good for those that have a hard time remembering stuff & it helps to stay on top of things that needs to be done at a certain time & keeps things in order that needs to get done, I put my todo list on a dry erase board so I don't forget where I put it every time I pick it up.

I think it depends on the person, and what kind of lifestyle they lead. If their active and busy, all the things that need to get done in a day, Some people get overwhelmed with all the to-do's that need doing. And, sometimes it helps for it to be written out. You can check off things you've done, and it helps you know what you have left to do.

You should see me here with a bunch of notebooks all around, I need to jot down ideas for writing, then what I am posting as well as what I am planning to writ eup next, If I didn't I could not write online, To do lists can get you organized and make things easier,
