Update regarding 'List(s) Numbness'

Dedicated to Fellow GTDers​

Fellow GTDers,

The following is an 'Anti-Numbness' List update:

Still simply using Doc's/Word as primary digital List Tool:

Right Justifying the 'On-Docket / Someday/Maybe' Items

Left Justifying 'Immediate' Do Items

Easier "Left Justified" from "Right Justified" for "Do Activation" for shorter List(s)
Cut-&-Paste via Dual-Table insert for lengthier List(s)

Tiny Font to "1" to 'know' Support Info is there and only Enlarged to Read on an "As needed Basis"

Meets the crucial criteria of "Knowing what I am not Doing" without being 'Numbed Out' . . . whew!

Could also 'Tinyize' the 'On Docket / Someday/Maybe' Items . . . when not concerned with "Knowing what I am not Doing"

Out of Sight . . . Out of Mind . . . while being Trustingly easy to Find :)

Entering Everything to Right as a 'Not Thinking Protocol' and then intuitively proceed




Pro-Forma
@Next Action [Calls, Home, Office, ect.]:


​
Reasonable Number of Doable Items
Do Item
All Support Tinier / Unreadable
