Tina,
I am glad that you mentioned computerized ‘to do' lists. Keeping track of tasks with your computer can work great. You can set your computer up to remind you to complete certain tasks at certain points in time.
As instructors, it is always important to leverage the technology that we have access to. If you have access to software that can help you keep track of your tasks, why not put it to use and make it work for you.
