Steps

1. 
   1
   Think of everything you/they need to do. State it clearly, and use proper English. Instead of writing "grocery store," write "Go to the grocery store to buy some more Chunky Monkey ice cream".
2.

   Use good handwriting. If you can't read it, what's the point?
3.

   Make it noticeable. Write in bright colors or put it in a noticeable place, because they might not do it if they can't see it!
4.

   Put a date or day on it. It helps a lot if they know when to do it by, so they can feel ahead of their schedule.
5.

   Organize the list to get it done quickly. If it's a Christmas list, group items by store or shopping center. Then organize it to minimize travel distance between stops. You can save hours by planning properly.

   Prioritize the most important things first. If it's a repair list (around the house), put the most important problems first. If it's a big list, break it into manageable or incremental one-weekend or one-day projects.
