What's my favorite to-do list manager? Trello! Here's why.
In this ep of IMAGINATION & JUNK - the transatlantic conversation about the hard work of creativity - we talk about GETTING THINGS DONE, and the cult of productivity. And we have opinions.
Been using the #SuperProductivity app the last few months and it is rather nice. I really wanted to like the #gnome #errands, but the lack of repeatable #tasks was kind of a deal breaker. Crazy that it seems to be a feature that is missing in alot of little apps I tried.
@GettingThingsGNOME @nekohayo I wanted to ask you about the status of #GTG 0.7 with the new core and #GTK4. Is the release still far away or rather close? The last comment on the related issue [1] was almost a year ago and it did not seem not to be too far away then. Thanks!
How can you continuously improve your work life? Designing and conducting a regular work life review can work wonders.

Ich habe in meinem privaten @dokuwiki (geht aber auch mit einer Notizapp oder einem Office-Dokument) eine Liste nach Archiven/Institutionen, in denen ich die Dinge notiere, die ich dort machen will (inklusive Link aufs #WikiTree-Profil). Ansonsten stoße ich entweder sofort den nächsten Schritt an (und sei es nur eine Mail an mich, Stichwort #GettingThingsDone) oder schreibe ich das ins Profil und kümmere mich beim nächsten Mal darum, wenn ich es wieder sehe. #Ahnenforschung
Attacking the piles of paper - things to be done, laundry, cleaning up room … #GettingThingsDone
@kushal I use the #GettingThingsDone #GTD methodology. In fact, this year will mark the 20th anniversary of me being on GTD, and I'll never use any other system again.
Today's game plan was to do some of those pesky house chores that I've been putting off. Well, I managed to do 2 of them, so I guess that is a win. Now I'm working on my restock for this weekend and video editing. Got the og Guild Wars soundtrack playing off the Rune Audio I did years ago and sipping my coffee.
Reading my #newyears ' greetings for my friends in 2024:
- Read GTD #gettingthingsdone
- Install #Linux
- Eat #meat once a month and celebrate it
Interesting Wired piece by @clivethompson on getting things done and why we don't always. I used to keep a to-do list and I stopped. I used to use Workflowy and Remember the Milk for lists (both okay). But now, my email inbox is my to-do list for essential things. I'll write a tiny, brief to-do list on paper if there's a couple things I need to remember or do that day, but that's it. I don't keep a running one anymore. I don't find it useful.

Initially, I planned to take off from blogging on all of this year's holiday Mondays, but the topic of how various presidents embraced particular aspects of productivity just grabbed ahold of me and wouldn't shake me loose. Come see what Washington, Jefferson, (John Quincy) Adams, Honest Abe, and Ike thought and said about getting things done.
With non-presidential shoutouts for Alexis Coe, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Laura Vanderkam, Stephen M. R. Covey, and if you squint, Francis Wade.

It was nice seeing things get done. Too bad that ends with the gerrymandered House #governmentandpolitics #gettingthingsdone #Democraticleadership

I haven't done any sanding in the bathroom yet today. However, I HAVE restructured my resume, found bigger winter boots for 6, taken out the garbage and most of the recycling to the bins, took a COVID test (negative, Yay!), and started tidying up our living spaces.
I forgot to eat lunch, I put away all the clean dishes and washed all the dirty ones. I scooped kitty litter, took some summer appliances downstairs, thawed hamburger so I can make chili for dinner, and then picked up my kid and her cousins from school.
I’ve been struggling for years to find a method of organizing my thoughts and things to do. Most methods for me fall down when the task list becomes this unconquerable mountain that I don’t want to even look at. Yesterday I ran into this method called #gettingthingsdone when I was looking for something else. It’s very close to what I’m doing with my #programming project already, so I decided to give it a shot in a larger context. In a nutshell, the idea is to combine very low barrier writing down of ideas with a separate step of organizing those thoughts into immediate actionable tasks and things to be done later. Let’s hope this works out better than what I’ve tried so far… #obsidian should work nicely for this, as I’m already using it for note taking and #projectmanagement
