Thank you in advance! I am really excited about the potential of this system and feel like it could change the quality of my life. I am constantly overwhelmed and stressed out because of To-Dos running through my head day and night, with some of the To-Dos being huge projects.
I'm starting off using a paper based system only. I have gone through my life and created a Tickler file, an A-Z reference file folder system, project support folders, and bought a calendar. I took everything out of Asana and created a to-do from it or put it on my calendar. But I'm all turned around.
I have 12 clients with repeating daily tasks, needed weekly/monthly tasks, and rsh that needs done. I need to go through each one and create projects for each one. Some don't have a specific timeline, it's just something I need to do ASAP. The big project is, "Map out every client with a summary, things to do for them (daily, weekly, monthly), and things to monitor/test". So that is actually 12 client projects, and then each client would have a bunch of sub-projects, like pulling a lot of data and analyzing it, and making a list of actions to take.
I'm stressed with where to put everything. I work from home, so Context lists are hard for me. Would each client be a project with just one project reference folder per client? Then with lists of things to do for each one? And then decide if it belongs on the calendar? How do I prompt myself to keep moving forward with the projects?
I considered making "Short Tasks" and "Long Tasks" context lists, so when I have downtime at work, depending on the time I have available, I can pull a task from whichever folder makes sense, and then decide the next action after that and put it in a different Next Action list?
I'm just really confused and am hoping it's normal on Day 3. lol
