1. Write Down Everything
The first step is to write down all the things you need to do. Get it out of your head and onto paper!
For example, your list might look like this:
- Finish your homework
- Clean your room
- Pack your lunch for school
- Practice for the school play
Writing it down helps you see everything clearly and makes it easier to get started.
2. Pick the First Step
Next, choose one small thing you can do right now for each task.
For example:
- If you need to clean your room, the first step might be picking up dirty clothes.
- If you have homework, the first step could be opening your math book.
Small steps make big jobs feel easier.
3. Organize Your List
Now it’s time to sort your list. Put the things you need to do soon at the top and save the rest for later.
Here’s an example:
- Do Today: Finish homework, pack your lunch
- Do This Week: Clean your room, practice for the play
- Do Later: Plan a birthday party
This helps you focus on what’s most important.
4. Check Your List Every Day
Look at your list every day to see what needs to get done. When you finish something, cross it off. It feels awesome to see how much you’ve done!
If new tasks pop up, just add them to your list.
5. Keep It Simple
The best part of this system is that it’s easy to use. You don’t have to be perfect—just take it one step at a time.
Why It Works
When you write things down and break them into small steps, you don’t feel as stressed. You’ll know what to do and when to do it.
Why not try it today? What’s the first thing on your list? Write it down and get started—you’ve got this!
