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. This article makes the case for why moving to a digital platform for a to-do list and notes will increase your productivity.
So why should you change your methods? Think about it like this: if you were going to a meeting, it's unlikely that you would ride a horse to get there, even if someone offered you one. Yet if you lived in the late 1800s, you might have been a little apprehensive about sitting in a vehicle powered by highly flammable gasoline. Getting somewhere faster isn't worth the risk of blowing yourself up. 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?
While these are all valid concerns (gasoline is flammable), the risks of a catastrophic failure are very minimal and are far outweighed by the benefits of switching to a digital solution. The easiest way to understand these benefits is to examine the drawbacks of a paper-based solution.
