> To-Do lists are broken
mine isn't. I have a whiteboard with magnetic white strips that I can reorder. Each strip with it's own task.
"if only I had an amazing to-do list app, then I'd get stuff done". No, you wouldn't. No matter how good the app is, it will never actually do the task for you. That's the part that needs solving, the actual doing part. If you're good at doing, then you'll nuke a to-do list in any format.
Unless you hook my to-do list into something like task-rabbit where a "clean the car" task magically happens after I confirmed a $20 premium at the time of adding the task, then I don't think that changing the way I input and reorder tasks is going to make a difference to be me being lazy.
- csomar 15y agoI do the same thing, but it rather manages my current time and the short term of things. It's work-focused too. It won't remember you for example, that little task, when you are driving.
- ed209 15y agoMine is mostly work focused too. i always found that if I forget a task while I'm out, then I'd equally forget to look on my phone for outstanding tasks. Shopping lists are just pen/paper. And if it's important enough, I trust my brain with the info :) I guess the only other case is google calendar alerts for time sensitive to-dos like "cancel LoveFilm subscription by today"...
