I've appreciated reading other's take on this process. It's a very personal thing and finding what works for one's self takes time and is never really finished.

I've appreciated reading other's take on this process. It's a very personal thing and finding what works for one's self takes time and is never really finished. One thing I'd add is a daily paper journal, where at the end I note down a few big projects works well. It helps with continuity and really improved time estimation. By doing this I've come to realize I under-estimate time to completion of my 'that will take a week' projects by 4x - 8x. Recently I've incorporated a Maslow's heirarchy of needs approach to task prioritization. Hours of sleep, quality and consistency of diet, meditation, months of saved income, and family and community connection are the base. (I'm still working on these but it feels right.) It's somewhat automated but that's a different topic. If anybody had ideas about the later idea I'd love to hear your thoughts.
