In the era of a huge number of applications for making to-do lists, many people still prefer the paper version of such ToDo lists, but, as a rule, they face a number of problems in connection with the correct formulation of tasks.
When making another list of things to do during the day, people face two problems. In the first case, they describe the task very briefly, omitting even the necessary details. In the second case, the description turns out to be unnecessarily detailed, replete with details, but the very essence of the task escapes. So how do you find a balance between brevity and effective informational content?
The simplest thing is to build the assignment as if you were writing it not for yourself, but for someone you know. The description should be reasonably short and understandable. When setting a task, we were completely possessed by the thoughts related to this task, and as a result of a too detailed or too short description, the meaning becomes inaccessible to us - after all, we forget almost everything that we thought about at the time of setting the task. Thinking about task delegation allows you to solve this problem.
Start practicing correct problem setting now. Imagine a task that you need to complete tomorrow, and write it down so that someone else will immediately understand what is at stake. The statement of the problem should be clear, concise and include only essential details, which cannot be dispensed with - everything else can be neglected. In addition, a certain variability of the task will allow you not to feel tied to a rigid framework, which plays an important psychological role.
