Most small business owners and their teams will struggle to find ways to be more productive. And by making to-do lists, you are setting yourself on a never-ending list of future things that need to get done. And the longer the list goes, the less motivating. That is when procrastination arise and it can feel overwhelming. So my solution for this, and I have been applying it for the past 3 years at least is to make “To Finish” lists instead of TO-DO lists.

By making a to finish list on a daily basis, you only put items you commit to finish and it is like a challenge everyday to get those few things done before leaving your desk / work place.

A to finish list is a great way to end procrastination and feel good about what you achieve everyday. Doing to finish list everyday also helps adjusting on what you will finish based on your emotions, your mood and energy.

As entrepreneurs, we also have private events happening in our lives and different abilities to work every day: so we can adjust our ambitions with to finish lists. I wrote a blog article on this a few years ago and the link will be pasted as first comment of this video (cannot add it to the description as my account is new and need to be verified first by Google).
