Get sh*t done! Working effectively and efficiently is in our DNA and to achieve that, we encourage the use of checklists. Do you use checklists or do you try to remember everything? Do you ever say 'yes' to tasks discussed during a meeting and then wonder: what exactly were those tasks again? It is very human not to be able to remember everything. Because of the overload of stimuli we process every day, important things are sometimes forgotten. Read all about the benefits of to-do lists.
1. Own interpretation and design
Everyone works differently and you can adapt the checklist to this. This can be either a digital or written form. The advantage of digital is that you can turn on to receive a notification. This ensures you don't forget the agenda items of the day. With this digital development, it has also become possible to track goals. Here you can think about achieving a number of steps in a day or drinking enough water. Setting these types of goals contributes to achieving higher efficiency.
2. Ticking off gives satisfaction
It can be very demotivating to have a long list of tasks in front of you. But: when you can cross something off, you get new motivation in return. In the end, such a check-off list is stimulating because you also feel satisfaction.
3. Time management
Making checklists is a form of time management. It allows you to see what is urgent and what is not. Based on this list, you can schedule your work. This fills the day efficiently and does not waste valuable time. Online tools such as Trello are used to set deadlines and monitor progress.

4. Clears your head
A to-do list provides peace of mind. If you constantly have to remind yourself your head gets very full. By writing it down, it doesn't take much more time from your thinking capacity. Inner peace is very important in order to perform well and spend time on other important activities.
5. Developing routines
You can develop good habits by building a routine. Once making a to-do list is in your system, you will find that it works very easily and you can work even more systematically. A structured routine frees up time for relationships and creativity.
6. Always on hand
There are probably situations when you think: this was inspiring or that was a useful site! In this case, you actually always have something handy to write it down. You can think of your phone, a piece of paper/receipt that happens to still be in your coat pocket, or a notepad. As a result, you won't have to challenge yourself afterwards about what it was again.
7. Keep focus sharp
Every now and then something comes up in between, making the chance of forgetting what you need to get on with very high. With a checklist you can get right back to work after distractions, because you have concrete what needs to be done.
