To-Do Lists A to Z
What is a To-Do List
As its name implies, the to-do list is a list showing the things you need to do or a list of actions to take. It is often used to design the schedule for a certain day. To be more useful, the to-do list may include these contents: things one need to do, things one want to do, things one should do and others. Here is an editable and printable example.

Purpose of To-Do List
It serves as a reminder of tasks to be accomplished. When people are busy, they tend to forget things, which is unavoidable sometimes for people's limited energy. By keeping a to-do List, one makes sure that his tasks are written down all in one obvious place so he doesn't forget anything important. And by prioritizing tasks, planning the order in which one will do them, he can tell what needs immediate attention, and what can be dealt with later. The to-do list is also regarded as the key to efficiency. Knowing what you have to do and the deadlines urge you get things done quickly so that you can finish tasks on time.
Types of To-Do List
Making a to-do list is akin to exercising for health. The particular form needed depends on your purpose. The simplest to-do list might be merely a jotting down of tasks in random order, on a scrap of paper. More complex to-do lists can be divided according to their structure into: list structured in chronological order, in order of importance, and by level of specificity.
