Your Say: How do you keep your to do list?

We all have hundreds of things to keep track of every day: things to do, people to see, places to go. Some tasks are urgent, and there will be an immediate disaster if you don’t get them done. Others are important, but the consequences of not doing them may take years or months to become obvious. How do you keep track of everything you need to do?

Are you an old fashioned guy or girl and prefer pen and paper for the job? Or do you have an elaborate system using a particular productivity app on your computer, phone or tablet?

And do you follow a particular productivity philosophy or workflow? Has it made a positive difference to your productivity? Let us know!

  • Pen and paper: Nothing beats the feel of writing things down.
  • Notes or reminders app: I use basic tools on my phone or computer.
  • Dedicated to-do list app (e.g., Todoist, TickTick, Things, Notion)
  • Calendar-based system: I schedule tasks directly into my calendar.
  • I just remember everything: It’s all in my head (or so I hope!).
  • I follow a specific system (GTD, Eisenhower Matrix, etc.)
  • It’s chaos: I’m still figuring it out!

Easy, I just make endless notes, get to the point where the notes are overwhelming, start adding stuff to my self-made ai organiser app, forget what I added and where, go over the 20 emails, 100 tickets, 15 tasks I have to do, give up, push through, get through around half of the stuff I have to do, sleep, wake up, 50 more tasks came overnight, rinse, repeat, die :grinning_face:
