You can write it down on a digital device (your phone or a specific app) or on that physical piece of paper that you always carry with you. Remember that it should not be a very long list. On the contrary, it must only have those tasks you have to do, no matter what, during the day.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read more: <strong><a title=\"The Top 12 Productivity Apps For 2016\" href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/top-productivity-apps-2016\/\">The Top 12 Productivity Apps For 2016<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Check it often<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If we checked our task list as often as we check our mail, we would all possibly be more productive.
