It’s no secret that Lifehacker reader and writers alike loveto-do lists.

For example, that task could become:

Update resume.

Reach out to friends in related fields.

Study skills necessary for a different job.

It’s still daunting, but you now have some steps you might actually start working on.

The simple act of making a list functions as both brainstorming and organization.

A well written list is the fastest way out of most problematic situations…

Writing things down is powerful.
