Regarding the todo list, I find that having a text-format todo list for the current day can provide structure and sense of accomplishment (especially at the end of the day). After completing a task I would put a checkmark emoji in front of it. Such a list can also bring me back on track after a lunch or a mentally-demanding task.
If I know that I won't be able to do a certain task today, I put it in advance for the next day's todo list. Not completed tasks will roll to the next day.
Plan for May 11:
- Contact Person 1 regarding Thing 1
- [checkmark] Review Pull Request 1 made by Person 2
- Implement Thing 1 from Feature 1
- Read Email 1 from Person 3
Plan for May 12:
- Implement Thing 2 from Feature 1
- Investigate Thing 3
- dd82 6y agoThis is similar for me, except I integrate that into a daily log via a running google doc. Lists off the tickets I did, meetings, conversations and action items to follow up on. We have two week sprints, and sometimes around retro its really easy to forget things that happened the week before that would be useful to call out.
- nicoburns 6y agoApple notes is surprisingly nice for this style of todo list if you use a mac.
- LeonB 6y agoYou can access your apple notes on a windows computer too, either by visiting iCloud.com or downloading the iCloud app from the Microsoft store.
- zests 6y agoThis is the use case for why I started using org mode.
- darekkay 6y agoThis is also perfect for a Daily Scrum, as you know exactly what you've been doing the day before.
- tren 6y agoI like taskade to manage this. I'll use the weekly Todo list template and it works well
