Often I find that sorting/prioritising a day doesn't do it . . . I'm looking at a couple of weeks !!
I get an 11 X 17 sheet of paper, and draw it into days, breaking the days to morning, afternoon, & evening blocks. Then I transfer my list of to-do's to sticky notes, colour coded for importance & those with hard deadlines. I also note how long they will take.
Then I stick the notes onto the big page. (There's probably a much fancier way to do this . . . but I'd lose 3 days learning how to use the computer program, and this way I get the exact number of days to cover my time frame all on one page).
Advantages:
I feel good seeing how all this will get done I can sort & sequence as I go I can fit in, or decline, the stuff that pops up I can move them around as the week progresses
Make sure to leave a few blank spots.
