Why I use a to-do list?

I always keep a to-do list and it brings to me a lot of benefits. Some are

• I do not forget my tasks as they are written down.
• It makes me more focused as I have a list to complete.
• I get a satisfaction when I complete each task.
• It is a time saver, as I do not have to remember and recall.
• It helps to see the big picture and plan my tasks properly.
• I can complete a task when I am waiting for an appointment, like paying bills on my smartphone.
• It help me to group related tasks together.

I always complete the BIG task first unless it is depending on a small task. Whatever not completed by the end of the day, go to the next day's list.

You can keep a to do list on a paper. There are a number of tools/apps too.

I use Google Keep in my smart phone / computer. It has a neat interface. As I complete the tasks, I get it checked off. I can also store a product photo if I need to show it to the shop sales person.

Google Keep can alert me at a pre-determined time / pre-assigned location, like buy stuffs when I am near the mall.

You can also use it to keep your weekly master shopping list. 

Before shopping, you can copy your master shopping list and get the items checked off as you buy.

When I keep a to-do list, my regular tasks, becomes a habit that I do automatically.
