How to Properly Create a List Of Things To Do with Ashley Anderson

Before we get started, you will need the following; pen and paper and or pencil. I prefer a pen its more formal. Also, using a pencil lets the mind think you can make a mistake, and that's not what a list of things to do is about. To continue there are many factors that make up a list of things to do, and the type of pen, color of pen, and the paper you use deciphers what kind of list you are making. If you want a classic list, I would go with a black ball point pen and a sheet recycled college ruled paper. Another example is for a highly important list, and one that needs to be done expeditiously, you would use a red pen on a wide ruled sheet of paper. From there you would write a list of things to do in all capitals, showing that is is highly important. You could even put an exclamation point at the end for emphasis. Lets take a minute to talk about what makes a list of things to do great! For starters there is penmen ship. If you sloppily write or jot something using shorthand you might not not remember it or it may not be legible, it is worth the extra time to neatly form the words. You wont be sorry later. Next there is the age old question how do I label each item? There are so any ways, and each one is as exciting as the next. You can make a list of things to do numerically, or how about alphabetically. Another option would be to use bullets or to spice it up Astrix. I've even seen people use smiley faces! Haha how creative, now they know how to enjoy a good list of things to do, eh! So, to keep on the track of labeling, I will explain the significance of all the different way to label your items. The standard way is obviously using numbers, and that's great especially for beginners. Its the most common and used throughout the world for a simple list of things to do. When using the alphabet system it turns the list of things to do into a fun project, and this is great for learning the alphabet too. Its a double bonus! There are so many ways to write a list, and they are all very exciting. Lets say you have something on your list that needs a supplemental list.(supplemental lists are mainly there to highlight the most important things of main item) This is where it gets tricky, and sometimes hard to accomplish. I would use a different set of labeling so you wont get confused with the rest of the list of things to do. The amazing part of a list of things to do is that if you can imagine it, it can happen. Its almost an adrenaline rush writing a list of things to do, and you can create one by mixing up all the ways of labeling and pen types, colours, and all that it entails. I prefer to use a max of three different types of labeling because, when inserting more things to do, the lists tends to look cluttered and all over the place. A motto I have come to respect and love is; "Its your list, do it how you want to do it"!
To end I will show you a brief example of a perfect list of things to do, and this is an actual piece of one of my very own lists of things to do. I hope you are ready.
