Describe how to work with a to-do list.

After setting priorities, write the to-do list. The most important tasks and those with upcoming deadlines should be entered first and completed first. Those less important should be listed last. Group the tasks together by location to save time. Larger tasks, or projects, can be broken down into smaller parts. Start with something you enjoy doing to motivate you. Cross off or check off items on your list after you complete them.
