<p>Today it can either be a virtual list like one available on an app you can download or a traditional paper one. In order to make it work you simply write down all that you need to be achieved, execute it and then one by one, cross them off and move on to the next task. </p>

<p>Another great benefit is that it helps you to prioritise your day. If needs be, you can highlight the more critical tasks and then list the others after. Once a few tasks are completed you can even take a break and reward yourself with something simple like a slice of cake or watching a movie that you have been dying to see.</p>

Just make a list, post or share it by whichever means is your choice and make the others assign themselves to what they wish to tackle. For it to work smoothly, also provide them with a feasible deadline.</p>
