I'll wrap this up today, with a list (what else?) of some practical do's and don'ts of keeping a to-do list.
First, do be practical. Don't fill your list with impossible tasks. It's self-defeating.
Next, do remember there is no Do-To List Police Force. Really. They don't exist -- never have. So don't try and deputize yourself onto the force! Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies!
Do take a large, cumbersome task and break it into parts, giving each part a separate line on the list. Don't worry, necessarily, about keeping it all on one day, either.
Do feel free to delegate the things on your list to others. And when someone completes one of your items, don't forget to cross it off! Why not?
If you do overload your list into an impossible day, don't sweat taking some tasks off your list. Remember, this list is a tool to benefit you. Loading it down with impossibilities is counter-productive. Plus, you'll find you won't stick to list-making for long.
Do give it a try . . . you don't have anything to lose!
