A project list makes the difference between a cluttered task manager, filled to the brim with various tasks, and an organized, pristine dashboard into your current life.

What is a Project?

A project is a collection of related tasks, aimed at achieving a specific outcome on a short- to mid-term deadline.

Make a Current Project List

Here are a few prompts for thinking about what projects are currently active for you:

• Brain dump - what's been on your mind?
• Calendar - look 2 weeks into the past and 4 weeks into the future. Is there anything you missed? Any events to prep for?
• Items on your todo list that are actually projects
• Random objects on your desk, in your bag, on a counter somewhere
• Downloads folder or computer desktop
• Emails you're not sure what to do with
• Tabs you've left open forever
• Skills you'd like to have
• Hobbies you'd like to develop

Action:

• [ ] Copy this Project List template into your reference app.
• [ ] Use the template to generate a current project list.
