Professional Development: Why an Online “To-Do” List and Notes Are So Important
If you want to significantly improve your productivity, you need to carefully select and adopt an efficient process, especially how you organize your “to-do” list and take notes. Numerous professionals still write out their daily to-do list on a piece of paper or even on individual sticky notes.

The secret to increased productivity and a powerful agenda process is to finally ditch the paper and move to a more flexible system for both your daily to-do list and notes. This article makes the case for why moving to a digital platform for a to-do list and notes will increase your productivity.

For most people, the reason they choose not to switch is out of a fear of change, worry of making a mistake or a feeling of being overwhelmed by the sheer number of tools available.
