This is a question I’ve been asking myself for the last year or so, and I’m sure I’m not the only person who has a task list that never seems to get smaller. I’ve tweaked my system, moving from digital to paper and back to digital; I’ve incoporated new ideas from Getting Things Done and Do it tomorrow, but the list keeps growing. So at the start of 2008 I decided to do some analysis so I could understand the nature of my incoming tasks and hopefully develop a system that means I can work through my task list.
If you are interested in reading my analysis you can find it over at Productivity in Context. Thank you Stephen for inviting me to write my first guest post.
Why did you go back to digital?
Megan,
I went back to digital to help me use contexts more effectively. I’ve tried to keep it fairly simple though and I am using Excel, there is a post coming on it soon.
