A task list is also known as to-do list. A to-do list enables you to outline and organize the tasks that you need to do to complete a project or achieve a goal. The information stored in a to-do list varies from person to person, depending on their taste and requirements. To create a task list go through the following steps:

- Think of everything that needs to be done
- Some tasks are more equal than others so you need to prioritize your tasks

A more efficient & systematic way to manage tasks is to use to do list software. Task management software allows you to add tasks and split them up into sub tasks. The task software also provides functionality which is difficult to compare with paper based task management, such as reminders via notifications of upcoming pending tasks.
