What if your to do list is kind of the same everyday? By that, I mean that you have tasks that repeat daily or weekly. Or maybe you have an ongoing list of tasks to do that have to be done soon, but not necessarily today. You could still work from a list, but you could make it a little more interesting by shuffling a deck of cards.
For this technique, get a stack of index cards and write one task on each one. It’s best to use all the same color so you don’t start recognizing them from the back. Now shuffle the deck and pick a card. That’s the task you’ll do next.
If the task doesn’t need to be done again for awhile, you can keep it in a separate stack, otherwise, just put it back in the main stack. Review the second stack everyday to make sure you put tasks back into the mix. This is a good way to literally mix things up a little so you don’t get bored.
