There are many reasons I love making lists, one of them is because it helps me be more organized, balancing graduate school, a part-time job, having a dog, and an internship, I need to make lists to make sure I am organized.
Here I will share my top 10 Lists that have helped me be super organized:
1.Daily to do list
I think that making daily to-do lists is something great to do so you remember what you are supposed to be doing every single day. What I usually do is wake up in the morning and then start writing down what I am supposed to do for the day, I understand that not everyone has a lot of time in the morning to do the same, in that case, it would be great if you do it the night before!!
Also, I don’t know about you, but I love the feeling of crossing out completed tasks, it makes me feel productive!!
2.Monthly to-do list
As a student, there are many different deadlines I have during the school year, and luckily we are given those deadlines early in the semester. Since I am a planner, I like to write down the different deadlines just to make sure I am not forgetting anything.
I also like writing monthly goals, goals should definitely be considered when writing a to-do list
3.Homework, quizzes, and deadlines
As I mentioned early, I like to have all my deadlines written down, I use a physical planner and google calendar to remind me of the deadlines. It is also very helpful when you are planning on visiting a friend, family, or just going away for the weekend.
4.Grocery shopping
Have you ever gone grocery shopping for just one thing and end up buying a bunch of random things, and then sudenly you notice you forgot to buy what you wanted in the first place? Me too!! That is why having a grocery list is very useful. Plus you don’t have to wonder around the halls thinking what you need at home.
5.workout schedule
I am that shy person who gets very intimidated when going to the gym, that is why I like having a workout schedule to make sure I go straight to the machines I will be using. If the machines are all busy, then you can do the workout you were planning for the next day!
6.house chores
Yes, I do have a list for house chores. I live on a two bedroom appartment with my little dog, and balancing school, work, and life just makes it very difficult to clean my entire home in one day, that is why i have a list to clean different parts of the apartment on different days of the week.
7.Pet Vet visits
I am the sole owner of my little Dachshund, and since he is incredibly important in my life, I have to make sure I am giving him his medicine, vitamims, and pet visits on track. It also makes it ealy when doctors ask when was the last time he took a certain medicine, etc.
8.Car maintenance
YES!! I don’t know what I would do if my car breaks in the middle of the road, I don’t know how to put oil in it, or when I am supposed to have it looked at, so every time I go to the mechanic I make sure to ask when I am supposed to go back again. I just want to make sure my car won’t fail me.
9.Spends tracking
I try to save as much money as I can, but I alwasy leave aside fun money to go out and eat with friends, and just have fun. When i track my spences it gives me more control of how much money I am spending each month, sometimes I go over my budget, and being a student that is not good.
10.Birthdays
I love giving people presents, and doing something nice for them on their birthdays, that is why I like to have all the birthdays written down to make sure I don’t forget any of my friend’s birthdays. I love you friends.
