Fundraising Tip — Your Daily List
I have changed my mind in regards to lists, and find them super beneficial in keeping me focused and celebratory throughout the week.
I know what you may be thinking.
You have no time for lists.
I used to think the same way.
These days, every day begins with a list.
At the end of the day prior, before I stop work for the day, I create a list for the next day.
It’s a simple list, one that includes one bigger project or piece of work, and a few smaller projects. It also includes any contacts I want to make for the day, including emails.
The projects can be ongoing.
When I start my day, I check my list. Throughout the day I refer to it, and keep focused on the larger project for the day. For me that typically involves preparing for an upcoming meeting, writing for an e-appeal or some other fundraising piece for a client, or campaign work for a client.
