Organizing and Tracking Tasks with Stacy, Part 2

Welcome back to hearing what I have to say about organizing and tracking tasks. To remind you, I define a task as a “purposeful recurring action.” For me, I like to accomplish tasks.

When I was an elementary school teacher, I gave myself the task to clean my living area every Saturday morning. Why would I give myself this task to do every week? First, for me, having a clean and organized living environment is beneficial. Second, when I wake up, I have energy. Third, if I delay what I have intended to do, my mind can keep thinking about that task. So for me, Saturday mornings became this joyous time of organizing and cleaning the area where I lived. Often I would turn music on and happily scurry around wiping or sweeping or vacuuming. By having this weekly task, I gave myself and my mind freedom because I had accomplished a goal. A goal that benefited me mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Setting and completing tasks can lead to successful or positive results. I believe that having a mindset that can complete tasks helps with accomplishing and achieving goals.

Again, here are the three simple charts to use when tracking your tasks: daily tasks charts, weekly tasks charts, and monthly tasks charts. I use these simple charts to track my progress. The charts help me stay focused and motivated to start and complete tasks. In addition to the charts, I use blank paper.

I encourage you to watch this video about my ‘simple’ and ‘easy to use’ strategy to track tasks. I believe my idea can assist in building motivation and success.
