First, there are some things to take into consideration. For instance, if you have a to-do list that looks like it’s the size of War & Peace, then you may be asking if you really need to put everything on your board? No, you do not. The question becomes, what do you trim? Some things are so low on the priority list that it doesn’t make sense to clutter your To Do column with them because that will distract you from the most important work. Also, by the time you finish your top three to five priority items, your next set of priorities will probably have changed.
