What is a better way you've found?
- adolph 5y agoTime blocking is one. If one doesn’t structure time and context, then todo items can’t get done. Edit: Here’s one implementation by Nir Eyal, author of “Hooked” and Indistractable”: https://www.nirandfar.com/schedule-maker/ https://www.nirandfar.com/schedule-maker/
- jvanderbot 5y agoI mean, I do have a backlog list, and it is prioritized, but my day-to-day follows a process not a todo list. I keep a daily checklist of priority things to fit in: Speak politely, two morning chores, answer all messages from my group, workout, read, tinker with something, no coffee (I'm quitting), no drinks (I'm cutting down), meditate, go outside, update the finances, write in my journal. Each of those is about a 5 minute task or a daily reminder. Read and Tinker often lead to hours-long focus sessions. The key is to show up every day and remove barriers to getting started. If you want to call that a todo list, that's ok, but I call it a process-oriented checklist because of the way I use it. I used to be better about keeping a monthly checklist too, but pandemic has removed most the list.
