In this Medium article[1], Nikita Kolmogorov describes the rules he embedded in Todorant. The rules are ...
- As soon as you think of a task (e.g. you get an email) you should add it to your task list — and then archive this email away from the inbox.
- If you are going to spend less that 2 minutes completing the task — do it right away.
- Tasks should be simple, clear, short, specific, actionable.
- Spend a couple of days organizing everything and every thought you own.
- Every task should either have an exact date or a specific month (but not the current month) to complete; you should not have any tasks without specific month or date to complete them.
- Do day planning every morning. Do week planning every Monday morning. Do month planning every first day of the month morning.
- Don’t feel ashamed and add completed tasks to the todo list marked completed.
- Complete unpleasant tasks (frogs) in the morning.
- Focus on only one task at a time.

- kimi 6y agoLike every set of rules, they work if you follow them. Like, you know the secret of a successful diet is not eating all that junk you gulp down every day. The secret of quitting cigarettes is not smoking them. But you still do. So what? where is the magic powder that makes this happen in todorant? Do they send a couple of mafia hitmen to make sure you're not having a quick smoke in the parking lot, like in that old Stephen King novel?
