Check if you are able to accomplish a task by its due date

Track your To Do List before accepting a new task

Almost each task has the date by which it should be accomplished. If the task is overdue, it may cause the procrastination with other assignments. Besides that, we start feeling stress and may lose self-confidence. But the reason of procrastination may be not in our skills or discipline, but in incorrect deadline setting. One of the mistakes is that we often agree with the due dates that are offered to us by other people and forget to co-ordinate them with our To Do List. If we first look at our current tasks and estimate when we can accomplish a new one, we'll avoid stress and procrastinations in the future.

"Due date setting" To Do List

• When you get a new task with the certain due date, don't hurry up to accept it as is
• Track your Task List and determine if the offered due date is possible for you
• If you realize that you won't have enough time to accomplish the task in time, discuss this question with the task owner and if it's possible correct task due date together
• Use software to track your tasks and add comments to the task
