It’s always better to have one list to refer to throughout the day.
But if attending to a personal item during the day becomes more critical than other work items, it deserves to be at the top of your critical list.Īlso, unless you have a large number of personal items to do from work every day, you won’t look at a separate personal list throughout the workday-and you’ll miss those items that need attention during the day. If most work things on your list are more important than the personal ones, you’ll raise those to the top. Well, the urgency zones in the MYN and 1MTD systems take care of priority. You might think why not just put those on a separate “personal” list? Isn’t your work list what you should work on while at work, shouldn’t you make that a priority? So yes, seeing some of those along with your other important work items helps you get them done. Listing those commute-back errands on your main list helps you prep for that. Similarly, you might want to think ahead about your ride home from work to do some errands. For example, your babysitter for tonight cancels at noon and you need to find another. For example, many personal calls can and must be made during the day at work because the office hours of those you are calling stops at 5:00, like a dentist office, a car shop, and so on.Īlso, critical personal items that come up on short notice should go into your Critical Now list for today even at work. It’s often the only way to accomplish things. This is an individual decision, but I generally do encourage mixing business and personal items on the same list, to a degree. A lot of people ask me “should I put personal items along with my work items on my single MYN/1MTD task list, or should I separate them into two lists”?
