Mark Forster's article about his experience caught my attention and I found it useful to bring it here with my comments where they originated. The topic of time management does not lose relevance and a lot of people have enriched themselves on this, our task is to learn useful things always and everywhere.
At the beginning of the article, Mark notices that a simple un-prioritized list does not work as we would like, despite the fact that recording all the cases seems to guarantee that everything will be completed if you perform the tasks in the order of recording.
Not working well enough and completing tasks in the order of their pleasantness: this causes constant postponement of unpleasant, but necessary things for later. The advantage of this approach was the fact that it was possible to write down any unpleasant and difficult tasks, because nothing forced them to do.
As a result of thinking about for and against different approaches, the method we propose for consideration today appeared, it somehow reminded me of the concept of limited chaos:
At the end of recording the thoughts that have come to mind at the moment, it is worth drawing a line. No, you can continue to record tasks further, but they will already be under the line. Now you should do the tasks from the list above the line in the order that you like, but until you have dealt with all the tasks from the list above the line, you cannot proceed to the tasks below it.
Each recording session should thus end with a dash. Thus, you have small lists within which you can feel absolutely free to choose the order.
This approach provides several advantages:
With experience, you will get a feeling of how much it costs to record and how big the load is, because overloading yourself for a long time will exhaust your strength.
