INSIGHT

Keep Calendar Events Separate From Tasks

  • A calendar holds time/location-based events while a task manager holds actionable tasks and projects without fixed times.
  • Keeping events and tasks in discrete locations prevents duplication and clarifies where each idea belongs.
ADVICE

Follow The GTD Workflow

  • Capture new ideas quickly into an inbox, clarify details, organize them into lists or projects, and review regularly.
  • Use the priority list to surface next actions and focus on what to engage with now.
ADVICE

Choose Simplicity Over Complexity

  • Choose a simple task manager and learn it fast so you actually use it daily rather than getting lost in complexity.
  • Avoid overly flexible tools that create confusion and prevent consistent use.
