Having no to-do list, just a calendar
Instead of relying on Post-its or productivity apps, the idea is that you use your digital calendar to organize your time. Estimate how long every task will take to get done and block that period off in advance.
The method is good for people who like structure and planning ahead and are not afraid of a crowded calendar.

Keep a running list but do just “one thing” on it
When we have more than seven things to choose from, our brains get overwhelmed. The core concept of the "do one thing" method is to keep your to-do list, but use it only as a reference. When you want to tackle a task, write it down on a Post-It and stick it up while hiding your full list. Once the task is done, cross it off your list, and go again.
This method is good for daydreamers, multitaskers, or easily distracted people. Seeing only one task helps to bring your focus back each time your thoughts wander.

Use a digital task manager
First, you enter every task you can think off, and sort them into groups. Then you prioritise the most immediate projects and schedule tasks that you can do at a later date.
This method is good for techies: people who love using phones and have many tasks to organise or work on a variety of projects.

Make three to-do lists
We usually have more tasks on our to-do list than we ever can complete. This causes us to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of doing the easiest and most urgent tasks first and putting off the harder ones that are most important.
Instead of working off of one long list, keep three lists.
- List #1 is for important, non-time-sensitive tasks.
- List #2 is for tasks you need to do today.
- List #3 is for tasks that have been on your to-do list forever, but you never get to it.
Start with list #2. Schedule the tasks you need to get done today. Then take list #1 and schedule those tasks for future dates. By doing this, you're likely to complete meaningful work and throw away work that doesn't need to be done.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
