There's a lot of advice on making to-do lists. I've tried it many times and it's really a great way to focus and get things done. However, after following what I've done for a few days, I get bored of doing it and it's turning into a grind for me.
Are there any people who making to-do lists and tracks them consistently? How do you do that?
Lots of people track their todos (and lots of other things).
The secret is establishing a peridic review process for your todos (and wishes, dreams, plans, deadlines, must-do's etc.). I do my my weekly review usually on Sunday afternoons, with smaller reviews done daily. For more big picture topics I also do quick monthly, longer quarterly and pretty long annual reviews of ...well basically anything in my task management system.
If you struggle with establishing or maintaining a system for you, go checkout "Getting Things Done". The original book is dated, but there are lots of guides out there that explain how it works.
That's great! I'll check it asap 🤘
To-do tracker here! I would say it's about defining a simple routine. For me, it's 4 steps.
It makes my week/day really focused and ready for consistent progress. Plus, it takes the guess work and time wasted out of figuring out what to do. Shameless plug - I use my app Sidekick to track my to-do's. But you could easily do this on pen & paper.
Great routine! But, actually I am struggling with set weekly goals. Because there are too many parameters that effect my week. That's why I can't set my weekly to-do's from the first day of the week. So, I need to set daily to do list but it's a bit boring doing it everyday for me.
Thanks for your advices 🙏
I use an outliner app (currently https://legendapp.com). I put all my tasks in there, underneath my goals/projects. After I complete a task, it's saved for forever but hidden by default.
Thanks, I'll check it!
