I split my todo list into three files: today, this week, and later (backlog). Every Sunday, I move dated task reminders (and copy some recurring weekly reminders) from my later file to my “this week” file. Every day I move reminders from my “this week” file to my today file. Ideally my today file would be empty at the end of every day, but in reality I always have tasks that roll over to next day… or week. This system helps me focus on my most immediate work and still have peace of mind that my system won’t lose the reminders in my later file. I store my todo files in Dropbox so I can access them from multiple devices (including my phone) and get automated backup for free.
