Daily to do list and Weekly to do list - how to handle and coordinate them

Building daily to do list is an elementary action for every person who aims to become organized, as well as starting of new day with morning to do list review. Your daily to do list is a plan of how you are going to use your time today, however if you want to make your planning more comprehensive and really consistent you should also create weekly to do list. You need to consider weekly to do list not just as a long to-do list for the whole week, but rather as general plan for the week. List of to do during the week is your strategic guidance, that describes objectives which you should achieve. And to do today list is intended to describe your practical steps. Your list of to do for day can be divided into time-oriented way (for example: morning to do list, list of to do for the evening etc.) or in context-oriented way (list of to do in the bank, list of to do in the shop etc.). Consecution of tasks mentioned in to do today list should guide you to realization of goals stated in weekly to do list.
