Just Reading Over Your To-Do List Can Make You More Productive

Just Reading Over Your To-Do List Can Make You More Productive | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it

If you have a love-hate relationship with lists of all kinds, you aren’t alone. On one hand, making a list–whether it’s a grocery list or a to-do list–gives you a single place to keep all your priorities front and center. But that same list can also be a source of anxiety. The longer it gets, the more you may find yourself avoiding it, knowing that the effort it’ll take to cross everything off is going to be considerable.

 

But as it turns out, you’ll be much more productive if you actually read your to-do list regularly–even if you don’t manage to finish every single item that’s on it. Here’s why.

Making a habit of running through your top-priority tasks can cut back on wasted time in your workday–even if you can’t accomplish everything.

Word Booster

Word Booster | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it

It gives you a list of words you are likely to look up in the dictionary as far as the given text is concerned, guesses a good dictionary definition for the words along with example sentences. And finally, it also makes a quiz for the words using both the definitions and example sentences. (Of course we give you the answer key too.)

This is a great free tool for creating word lists and vocabulary quizzes from online text. It works within minutes. A great time saver.
