Your To Do List
To start a business on the internet, the first thing we have to
do is get organized. I know, to some of us that is a dirty word.
Organized? How can I get organized? I have this and this and
this to do and there are always interruptions and everything is
a priority. What do I do first?
It is silly, because I have been on the internet for 5 or 6 years
and I never thought to do this. Oh I know about making folders
and copying and pasting but it is unbelievable how you can have
these tools and still not use them to their fullest extent.
Now all you organized people can leave, you won't need to read
this article. The rest of you, give this a try; go to your desktop,
right click with your mouse on an empty spot on the screen.
A box will open, go down to 'new' another box will open. You
will see 'Folder', click on it and a folder will be made on your desktop.
Now the next thing you do is name it 'To Do List' then double click
on it. Now do the same thing inside this 'Folder' called 'To Do List'.
Right click, go down to 'New' , go to 'Folder' and click on it. Now you
have another 'folder' inside the 'To Do List'. Again you have to
name it. You can make as many folders as you would like inside your
'To Do List' folder.
Actually you don't have to make any folders inside the 'To Do List' folder at all if you don't want to. It can be the one you save your list of things to do, that you have made in your notepad, that you save it to. It will be on your desktop and you can just double click on it and then click on your notepad file and there is you list.
So far I have 7 folders inside my 'To Do List' and you never
know, I may create more. You can name your folders what ever you feel you need to always be trying to find. For example, these are the names I have given my folders: Email, Business, Phone Calls, Housework, Activities, My Domain, Blogging, Chocolate and so on. What ever occupies your time and what ever you need to get done.
The last action you need to take, is to write in your notepad what it is you need to do then save it to the folder you have made for that topic. Otherwise those Folders will do you no good at all.
