procrastination: How to Overcome It - The "To Do" List

If you are a neatnik or a little bit compulsive make a “To Do” list and mark off each item as it is completed. Be sure to assign a deadline or it will always be marked for “tomorrow”. Checking off each task and looking at a completed list at the end of the day can be quite satisfying. Beware of making the list so long or formidable that you avoid it all together.
