This is not the most surprising activity I have suggested, but it is one of the most essential ones. To-Do lists not only help you stay on top of what you have to do, but also relief stress. How? If there's something you need to do, your brain might remind you several times during a day so that you don't forget it. Every time this happens, you get distracted from whatever you were doing to focus on what you're forgetting. Now, that doesn't sound very efficient, does it?
Just think of five things you'd like to accomplish that day. Make them activities that you can do in less than an hour (if they're longer, split them up). They don't have to be the only things you do that day, but if they're the most important, than you can rest easy in the end.
I suggest throwing away your list at the end of the day, or transfering the left-over activities to tomorrow's list.
Long lists make you feel less motivated, so they're pointless. They'll only have you procrastinate more.
