Productivity Hack: The Portable To-Do List
Getting things done is all about focus. If you have to multi-task you already lose track of your goal no matter how many multi-core processors are in your head.
The prodigal to-do list has evolved since the days of sticky notes. Today we have lists that live on your desktop, on the web, and in our phones. All that sync and play nicely with each other.
Whether you use Evernote, or GMail Tasks, or another weapon of choice, the key to getting things done is to have everything in one place. I’m talking e-mail, calendar, and notes on the same screen, in the same app. When you’re not at your desk, make sure you can take notes on your phone and have it sync back up. This way you are always connected and in a recursive loop, with yourself.
Try it. You’ll be 10x more productive. If not, come hound me and I’ll buy you a coffee while you lecture me on how much you can get done.
