✅ Task Management

Before diving into "Task Management"...

What is a task and what isn't

A task is anything that you have to get done and has a due date.

Here are some common problems people face with their task management:

• Not 100% trusting the system

  → You might write some tasks in the system but try to remember others in your brain (ineffective)

• Chaos/Clutter.

  → Often due to an improperly maintained productivity system

  → ex: some tasks might get done but not crossed off/completed

• It can feel OVERWHELMING

  → Too many organized tasks and no sense of priority of due dates

What Makes a Great Task Management System?

• Easy to Enter Tasks

  → The more the friction to add a task the less you want to do it

• Simple Sections

  → Divide the tasks into different lists or buckets

• Customizable Views

  → A "Today View", "This Week View" etc.
