How do I stay focused and complete more on my list? It has been my experience that the best approach to stay focused and knock out your list is the one that gets used. During my professional experience, I have witnessed teams and individuals that start off using a tool, application, or a process only to abandon it midway through the learning curve. They get just far enough in that they are following the process, but not far enough to begin enjoying the results. The best tool, process or application for mastering lists is the one you commit to using.
