The ideal number of tasks
on your to-do list
is three.
“Dr. Timothy Pychyl,
who specializes in
the study of procrastination,
has theorized that
writing tasks on a to-do list
creates a feeling that
you have actually done the tasks,
which may be counterproductive.
To eliminate this phantom sense
of accomplishment,
limit your to-do list to three items.”
I have a huge to-do list
but I often
choose the top three tasks,
the tasks I MUST complete
that day.
Limit your to-do list
to three items.
