| |  | | | Here's how we tackle our to-do lists — and how you might also want to | "I'll sometimes create an incentive for myself to complete my list for the day. It sounds silly, but it works for me." — Rose Aka-James, senior manager, public health promotion
"I make empty boxes next to each item and then check them off as I complete a task. This helps to keep the list looking orderly and makes it less likely that I'll overlook something when my list gets long." — Megan Severs, senior editorial director
"I use Apple Reminders. I have a chores/cleaning reminder list, a kid/family/pet reminder list, and a general reminder list. I like that you can create shared to-dos and assign people to specific tasks. (Yes, I assign my husband to take out the trash, and I'm not afraid to admit it!)" — Ren Dias, editor
"For work, I use a custom spreadsheet and color-code tasks by due date. I can easily see everything I need to do each week and then strike out each task once I'm done. For my household chores, I write them on a magnetic whiteboard on my fridge with colorful markers and wipe off completed tasks." — Morgan Mandriota, newsletter editor
"For the last 5+ years, I've done the top three list method: I list the main three things that are a priority that day at the top of the list. The rest of the list is things that I'd like to get done but could do another day." — Naomi Farr, copy editor
"Usually it's just multi-colored Post-it notes and crossing something off the list, like literally putting a line through it with a checkmark, is very satisfying." — Kristen Hom, photo editor
"I have completely eliminated the to-do list, as it only added to my daily stress. Instead, I've been making 'done lists' — writing down what I've done each day. This helps me feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day, no matter how few things I've managed to do or how 'insignificant' they might be." — Louisa Wah, content marketing editor | | | | | | | | | | Stay organized | | | | | | |  | | MaxGear Small Magnetic Dry Erase Board | | I keep a whiteboard on my fridge to track my chores, what I need to buy, and upcoming appointments. This dry-erase board is more like a sheet that you can stick to any magnetic surface. It comes with three colorful markers and an eraser. Depending on your needs, there are three different size options, too. | | | Every product we recommend has gone through either Healthline's or Optum Now's vetting processes.
