For work, I use a version of the Getting Things Done method. I’ve only read one article about it, but I’ve find it helpful. Mine is captured in Trello, but it could be anywhere really.

Dates and times into Google Calendar. Notes into Evernote. Mini-projects into OneNote. Addresses in a txt file. Files into Dropbox. Postable things worth a few quid onto ebay. Tidy resellable non-postable things to the chazzer. Functional things worth nowt onto gumtree/freeshare. Glass into the cardboard box. Other recyclables into the green bin. Non-recyclables into the other bin. Coloured clothes into the big laundry bin. White clothes into the small laundry bin. Stalagmites. Stalactites. Black pepper, black pepper. Rose for the lady. Mole. Bowl. Goal! Gotta have a system.

frequently check credit at moral bank, hole in wall

I did this for about 2 days then lost interest and forgot about it. downloaded the Trello app to try and give it another go but don’t think I even opened it.

Summary: I am lazy

I only started it because I was juggling too much stuff at work, and I was struggling to keep track of everything without feeling stressed. This type of system is good for that, because it gets tasks out of your head and into one place, so, in theory, you don’t have the mental stress of remembering them.

A combination of:

  • Trello for big projects, especially when I need to delegate/set dates/have ticklists
  • iCloud calendar app for appointments
  • A notepad for lists while out and about. Can’t beat the old pen and paper approach

oh, i also try and set aside 10 - 20 minutes or so a week to have a think about what needs to be done and reassess stuff

that sounds similar to why I tried to use it, just never stuck. seemed like a good idea though.

I don’t

Not such a neat page. Never mind, it has the info I need.

Your life is blissfully free of appointments and addresses of mid-priced Austrian hotels booked by your work?
