Survey finds very few manage to do all they had intended to do
Most to-do lists aren’t worth the paper that about half of them are written on, according to a survey of 6,500 professionals conducted by LinkedIn.
(In my case, most would mean all.)
Only 11 percent of those who were asked claim to complete all of the items “they plan to do on a given workday,” though it was not clear from the press release whether this means always, regularly or at least once.
About two-thirds of professionals say they regularly make a to-do list, with women (71 percent) slightly more likely to do so than men (60 percent).
Half of to-do lists are scribbled on paper, according to survey results. Forty-five percent are created electronically, with the balance including alternatives such as whiteboards and “in my mind only,” which seems like cheating.
