That glorious moment of feeling calm and in control arrives right on schedule, in between the moment you finish making the list and the moment you stop looking at it forever.
Most email applications refer marking messages for future action as "flagging," because my use of that feature goes up dramatically as my interest in doing anything with my email flags.
I’m gonna jot down a couple to do items for Monday, and then that’s it for work this week.
I just need to figure out where to put them: Microsoft To Do, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft OneNote, Microsoft Lists, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Sticky Notes, Microsoft Planner, or Microsoft Loop?
Just finished loading assignments and due dates into Microsoft To Do for the remainder of the semester. Between there only being three weeks left in the semester and having all the deliverables laid out in black and white, it suddenly seems very do-able.
Ugh. Went to bed at a later-than-optimum, but still reasonable, 11:00 PM. But, even after a half-hour of reading and feeling quite sleepy, I laid awake until nearly 1:00.
I think I got my brain going too hard—I had a tremendous to do list yesterday (which I finished all of) and a list for today and plan for the week that I'm almost (almost) excited about—and it had a hard time downshifting.
So, now I'm facing the business end of a Monday on five hours of sleep.
Learned about a nice #pim#selforganization idea today:
Tagging your #todolist according to mood and energy level best suited to the task:
E.g.
todos for when you are exhausted and just want to relax: watch that movie you always wanted to see
Todo for when you are motivated and full of energy: get that thing started you've been putting off.
Todos for when you want to do something to pass the time or focus thoughts on something mundane.

We need a one page, 10 item or fewer Essential #ClimateAction#ToDoList.
Let’s bring it down to the lowest common denominator, because, let’s be honest, that’s what we’re saddled with. Repeat the list, promote it, advertise it. #KISS. GET ER DONE.
Je crois que j’ai enfin trouvé un outil de #TodoList qui me convient¹ : #Sleek.
Il se base sur la syntaxe todo.txt et est multi-plateforme (Linux, Mac, Windows). https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/
This is a small victory, but nonetheless a significant one. I don't think I've seen the bottom of my todo list for years.
Last week, one day I had no A or B level tasks, just C level. It didn't last long, but the significance of these victories has meant a significant reduction in my stress.
All of this is largely due to a few tweaks to my todo management system, a system I've been working on and tweaking since ~2007 and which I continue to refine.
