Professional Development: Why an Online “To-Do” List and Notes Are So Important
If you want to significantly improve your productivity, you need to carefully select and adopt an efficient process, especially how you organize your “to-do” list and take notes. Numerous professionals still write out their daily to-do list on a piece of paper or even on individual sticky notes. Many also take their meeting and project notes in a physical notebook or on legal pads. The secret to increased productivity and a powerful agenda process is to finally ditch the paper and move to a more flexible system for both your daily to-do list and notes.

While this may seem silly, think for second about why you're still relying on paper while so many technological tools that could increase your productivity exist in the world. For most people, the reason they choose not to switch is out of a fear of change, worry of making a mistake or a feeling of being overwhelmed by the sheer number of tools available. What if this tool makes it harder for me to manage my day? What if I accidentally delete something? Which tool is the best fit?
