My Schedule - When You Seem Overwhelmed

Sometimes it just seems there is to much to do, and too little time, as the old adage goes.  This doesn't just apply to photography, but life in general.

I put together a to-do list, which is both shown below and attached as an Excel spreadsheet.  Yes, there are to-do list managers, specifically for this purpose, but the spreadsheet works for me.

My To-Do-List

How do I use this?

• I have a daily section on the left
• I have a weekend section in the middle
• I have a when-time-permits section on the right
• Everything is in priority order, so I make sure I, at least,do the most important tasks first
• Cells in  red are ones I definitely want to get done
• Cells in yellow just make highlights stand out to me
• I set the cell background to green as I complete the task or simply delete it, if a one time task
• Yes, I adjust this frequently as new tasks pop up or priorities change

Now this screen shot isn't the entire spreadsheet, but the entire sheet is attached, if you want to use it as a model for your own.
