This isn't a task management system but it's a system to help you focus on fewer things in shortened timescales to actually achieve something. I've found that using them as a basis for a weekly bullet formal spread is effective.Ī slight aside, but if it is making some change that you need to drive you forward then look to the 12 Week Year. You can also adapt them to make your own or incorporate them into other systems. Things like the Momentum planner and Full Focus Planner are good for this.
There are also paper based planners that work on breaking your buffer takes down so you can keep focus, the each week you create a new plan to work from with a slice of what you are going to do. It's then easy to process at the end of the week by reading through the notes and migrating the tasks forward or deciding to drop them. It's nice that notes and tasks are kept together to give some context. This helps to capture my tasks easily, make a plan for the week, and day, and also result go back to set what has been doing. If your tasks are a continuous flow then something like a bullet journal might work. This is why i sometimes revert to paper based systems. One problem I've found with digital apps is that it is so easy to fill them with tasks that they can become overwhelming and things like weekly reviews are daunting. Opportunity being your Next Actions, Horizon being your someday maybe, etc. This is a much lower maintenance system to use than GTD but can also be used together with it. This approach uses the idea that you only have 3 lists: "Critical", which you need to do today, "Opportunity", which you want to do in the next 10 days, "Horizon", which are in the future. It's essentially GTD simplified but adds on things to manage your energy levels during the day.įor an easier to manage system look at the One Minute Todo list, or Master Your Now. Another GTD like system is the Productivity Ninja, which is where I started. On the website they recommend picking one habit at a time to work on so you gradually build into the system.
If you like GTD in general then maybe try Zen to Done, which uses GTD as a basis but simplifies it while also adding in things like Most Important Tasks to keep your focus. GTD is a good system to start you off but eventually you'll learn what works for you and adapt or even abandon it.
