Der Task-Manager ist das der Retter in höchster Not, wenn Windows mal wieder rumspinnt. Aber welche Tastenkombi nutzt ihr, um das Tool aufzurufen? Doch hoffentlich nicht Strg + Alt + Ent, oder? Denn es gibt einen Shortcut, mit der ihr das praktische Tool noch schneller öffnet.
Der Task-Manager ist das der Retter in höchster Not, wenn Windows mal wieder rumspinnt. Aber welche Tastenkombi nutzt ihr, um das Tool aufzurufen? Doch hoffentlich nicht Strg + Alt + Ent, oder? Denn es gibt einen Shortcut, mit der ihr das praktische Tool noch schneller öffnet.
In dieser Folge beantworte ich eine Frage aus meiner Community. Die perfekte To-do-Liste: Eine Frage der Struktur Wie strukturieren wir unsere Aufgaben am besten, um produktiver zu sein? Die Frage ist nicht so einfach, wie sie klingt. Denn eine To-do-Liste ist mehr als nur eine einfache Liste. Viele nutzen eine klassische Struktur mit Ordnern für "Privat" und "Beruf". Doch die PARA-Methode schlägt einen anderen Weg vor: Projekte stehen an oberster Stelle, gefolgt von "Areas" – also wichtigen Lebensbereichen wie Familie, Karriere oder Hobbies. Warum PARA? Diese Methode bietet einen besseren Überblick über alle Aufgaben und hilft dabei, neue Projekte zu identifizieren. Allerdings kann sie für kleinere Aufgaben etwas umständlich sein. Die Lösung? Eine Kombination aus beidem scheint optimal: Projekte oben, generische Ordner für Kleinigkeiten und eine detaillierte Übersicht der Lebensbereiche für das wöchentliche Review. So behält man den Überblick und kann gleichzeitig tiefer in einzelne Bereiche eintauchen. Wichtig: Die beste Struktur ist individuell. Experimentiere und finde heraus, was für dich am besten funktioniert. Das wöchentliche Review hilft dir dabei, deine Fortschritte zu überprüfen und deine Liste immer wieder anzupassen. Fazit: Die Struktur deiner To-do-Liste ist entscheidend für deine Produktivität. Wähle eine Struktur, die zu deinen Arbeitsweisen und Zielen passt. Und vergiss nicht: Flexibilität ist der Schlüssel! Möchtest du noch tiefer in dieses Thema einsteigen? Gerne erkläre ich dir die PARA-Methode im Detail oder gebe dir weitere Tipps zur effektiven Aufgabenplanung. 0:00 klassische To-do-Listen 1:29 Die PARA-Methode nach Tiago Forte 3:36 eine vereinfachte Struktur 5:08 Areas im weekly Review Zu den erwähnten Videos: PARA-Methode einfach erklärt: https://youtu.be/_ZkFf2ov8cY PARA-Setup in Todoist: https://youtu.be/w29HSHBiOmg Wöchentliches Review: https://youtu.be/e9jk5uXSa0k Neues Projekt beginnt: https://youtu.be/RpJ3VQiC0l0

Three Step Productivity Not a day goes by when somebody doesn't ask me how to manage their time and be more productive. I wanted to share my simple, non-AI approach to getting things done. It's crucial to understand that productivity systems are not one-size-fits-all. They should be tailored to your unique needs and goals, which can evolve with your changing roles and responsibilities in life. I'm now living in the wisdom role and not the get a thousand things done a day role. Still, no matter what role you play, productivity comes down to three elements: 1) Holding space on your calendar. If you need help deciding when to do your whats, you must spend more time learning that skill. 2) Task Management contains all the little things you must do during the time set on your calendar. And no, they never go on your calendar. 3) All projects and their millions of details live in a separate project management document, file, or software. You reference it when you need it. Any task that needs to be done finds its way to your Task Manager. That's it. Only three tools are needed for productivity: a calendar, a Task Management System, and a place for project details. Never the three shall mix. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein and I am your host for this show. Do you have too many tasks in your task manager? It's one thing committing to using one, it's an entirely different thing ensuring the right kind of tasks are on your list. Get this part wrong and you are going to soon find yourself overwhelmed. I regularly see a common type of task on a to-do list that really should not be there, and I see quite a lot of tasks on a calendar that should be on a to-do list. I know, it sounds confusing, but once you learn this strategy, you will soon find your task list reduces and you feel a lot less anxious and overwhelmed. Now, before we get to the question and answer, let me just inform you that on Friday (that's the 4th August for those of you in the US) My next Ultimate Productivity Workshop begins. That's a 90 minute live workshop via Zoom where over the four Fridays of August, we cover how to get the most out of your calendar and task manager as well how to better manage your email and messages and finally in the fourth week, we cover planning. As part of this workshop you have access to my Mini-Course set—that's four of my most popular mini-courses—AND you get to download the workshop itself so you can keep it for later reference (and also if you are unable to attend one or more sessions) Places are limited now, but there are a few still available. If you want to take your own time management and productivity to the next level, then get yourself signed up now and I'll see you on Friday. More details on the workshop plus how to register are in the show notes. Okay, let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Grace. Grace asks, Hi Carl, I began using Microsoft's ToDo app last March and at first it really helped. But now, I find it's become so overwhelming. I hate going in there because it reminds me how much I still have to do. Do you have any tips on making my ToDo better? Hi Grace, thank you for your question. This is something that happens to so many people. There's the initial excitement of being able to put all the things we feel we have to do into a simple app, and to add dates to when we will do these tasks. And because at first we rarely put too much in there, our daily lists are not too bad. They are doable and if we do reschedule something, it doesn't feel too bad because we got at least 80% of what was on the list done. It's a great feeling, yes? However, over time, we add more and more stuff. We start to add things we don't want to forget about such as an upcoming event, anniversary or birthday. We then start to fiddle with the projects area and start adding more and more and more. And eventually, we find ourself with an endless list of projects with a lot of unclear tasks telling to do something we cannot remember why we needed to do them in the first place. We also begin adding random dates to tasks in a vain attempt to prevent us from forgetting something. Of course, when those task appear on our today list we just reschedule them again because we're now trying to keep our heads above the water and as these tasks are not urgent or they don't have a clear deadline, they can be sacrificed today. And that, just kicks the problem down the road. Eventually, what most people do is blame the tool because that's much easier than blaming the real culprit, and they go back to YouTube and watch their favourite YouTubers and see what they are reviewing now. And lo and behold, these people are talking about the latest new app that promises to make you more productive, more relaxed and do the work for you. So, it's switch time and the the cycle is complete and ready to be repeated. But it doesn't have to be this way. In my podcast from a couple of weeks ago, I talked about what David Allen taught me over a lunch we had back in 2016. That was the forget the tools and focus on developing your system. You see the problem is never the tools. You could very easily create your own digital task manager using Google Sheets, Excel of Apple Numbers. Sure, there'd be a bit of setting up work and some fine tuning, but it's certainly doable and I know a lot of people who have done this perfectly fine. The problem is with your system and more specifically what you are collecting into your task manager. Let's look at the different types of tasks commonly found in a task manager. There are the obvious ones like; “send document to Jenny” or “buy bracelet for Claire's birthday”. These are clear and very specific. Then you will likely have your routines in there such as take the garbage out, do the laundry or complete my expense report. Hopefully, you will also have your areas of focus tasks in there. Tasks such as schedule this week's exercise programme, send money to savings account and call parents. Now, the other types of tasks are often where the problems begin. These are tasks that involving decisions or thought. If you see a task such as “think about where to go for our summer holiday”, you're in trouble. You see a task like this is not actionable. It's not something you can actually do. It's something you need to be away from your desk and in a place where you are better able to think. It's also something that needs a bit of time to do. For a task like this, you would be better off creating a task such as “create list of possible places to go for our summer holiday” and move over to your note app to create the list. Similarly with your “decide” type tasks. Again, this is not really actionable. It's something you need to contemplate and weigh the pros and cons of your options. Again, this should be in your notes app. Now, I know why these kind of activities are in task managers. It's because people are afraid they will forget about them. And that's a valid fear. However, there are two options you have here. The first is to create a recurring task in your task manager to remind you to review you thinking or decision list. The second is to use the all day event space in your calendar and add them there. In both cases you will not forget them. They will always be visible every time you open your notes or calendar. Now, what about time specific tasks. Tasks such as pick up Tommy from swimming class? These are not tasks, they are events and should be in your calendar. Watch out for these. We often add them to our task managers because it's easier than adding them to our calendar. Sure, use your inbox to collect the item, but when you process your inbox, move it over to your calendar. Another way you can overwhelm your task manager is adding individual communication items in there. I frequently see people having ten to twenty tasks a day that begin reply to this email, or email that person. This is guaranteed way to overwhelm your system. Email replies should not need to be in a task manager. You already have a great tool for managing emails, and messages for that matter. Whether you use Gmail, Outlook or Apple mail, there's a built in inbox, the same goes for Slack, Teams and Twist. Transfer items from those inboxes to another inbox, is simply duplicating and adding additional steps you do not need. Instead you can simply have a single task in your task manager reminding you to clear your email and messages. That will then trigger you to move over to your mail or message app and you can focus your attention there. Now if you take all or some of these tips, Grace, you are going to reduce the number of tasks in your task list immediately. However, there is one more tip. This tip will remove overwhelm and any anxiety you may have about the number of tasks you need to do each day. Sadly, 95% of you will not do it. Instead you will find an excuse. This tip is, give yourself five to ten minutes at the end of the day to review you tasks for tomorrow and make sure it is not overwhelming. Now you need to be realistic. You should check your calendar to make sure you have the time to complete what you have on your list and if not, trim down the list to a more realistic one. Like I said, most people will not do this, and so they begin the day overwhelmed and no idea where to start. When you do allow those five to ten minutes, when you start the day you know exactly what you will start with, you have a manageable list and you there's no procrastination. It's brilliantly simple, works every time, yet, sadly, not sexy. So, few people ever do it. Instead, it's far easier to blame the tool, or your boss for giving you too much work. That might be true in some cases, but you will be a lot more focused and productive if you can add those five to ten minutes. So, Grace, I would recommend you go through your tasks in ToDo and look for tasks that require you to think or decide and move them to your notes app. I would also look for anything that is not clear. Tasks that say something like “call George”, that's not an a task, it's a statement that gives you no information. Call George about what? Make it clear. Unclear tasks require you to think and try and remember what it is you need to do. Remove that thought process and make it clear. Call George about next month's offsite meeting” will prevent any hesitation and give you a much clearer idea how long it will take. And, remove all tasks that no longer need doing. It's surprising how quickly these can accumulate. Clear them. Don't worry about them because if they are important, they will come back and you can add them again. I hope that helps, Grace. Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.

Podcast 263. This week, we are looking at the humble task manager and at how to get the most out of it by getting back to basics.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein and I am your host for this show. Since even before the Ivy Lee Method was first used in 1918, listing out your tasks for the day has been a common way to manage all the things you have to do. Externalising what needs to be done, is a tried and tested method for managing what we do each day. When you combine a well managed task manager with a calendar, you have a very powerful way to get your work done and to have time for rest each day. Now, as usual we humans are incredibly destructive. For some weird reason we seem to hate simplicity and love to over complicate things until they are destroyed. A classic apocryphal story that illustrates this is during the space race, both NASA and the Russians were having difficulty finding a writing implement that worked in a zero gravity environment. The traditional pen needs gravity to work and when you take gravity out, the pen will no longer work. NASA spent millions of dollars researching this. Yet the Russians spent nothing and solved the problem. The Russian space agency gave their astronauts pencils. Pencils don't need gravity. This week's question touches on this problem of over-complexity and I will give you some ways to get things back to a more simple footing so you can focus more on doing your work and spend less time organising your work. So, with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Thomas. Thomas asks; Hi Carl, I've recently been watching a lot of YouTube videos on using task managers. I like the idea of keeping all my tasks in one place, but it's so confusing. There's so many different ways to use a to-do list I just cannot figure out which is the best one. Do you have any recommendations? Hi Thomas, thank you for your question and yes, you are right; it is very confusing. The problem here is everyone will have a different way to manage their work. This is in part because we are all different (which is a good thing), and we all do different types of work. While you might have a generic job title such as a doctor or dentist within those generic titles there are a multitude of different disciplines. Another problem is we now have many more options than using a piece of paper and a pen to write out what needs to be done today. Now the task manager has been digitalised, developers can add features to differentiate themselves from other developers building task managers. It a combination of these two factor that has inevitably led to things becoming overly complicated. But let's just push back the complexity and look at what a task manager needs to do. A task manager needs three areas: An area to collect things, an area to store things and an area that tells you what needs to be done today. Anything else that adds to that is just adding complexity. Now task manager developers can easily create something with those three areas that works well. Unfortunately, for us, that would be boring and so we now have flags, tags and filters (and a whole lot more in many cases) Now these can be useful, but they are definitely not essential. So, how can you make a task manager work effectively? Well, understanding the three areas would be a good start. Let's look at these individually. First you need to be collecting all your commitments, tasks and anything else you need to do in your inbox. It's no good collecting some and leaving others in your head. This is not something you can do half-heartedly. Either you go all in or don't bother at all. Your head is the worst place to remember what needs to be done. It's not designed to store information. It's designed to recognise patterns. We use all our senses to do that. Sight, taste, smell, touch and sound are our primary pattern recognition senses and the ones used every day. We would immediately think something is wrong if we go outside when there's a blue sky and the sun is shining, but when we do step outside we get wet. There's an interrupt in the pattern and our brain alerts us to something not being right and our fight or flight reaction will engage. That's where our brains work incredibly well. If someone gives us a random series of numbers that do not fit a pattern (such as giving us a telephone number) we will struggle to remember them. Give us a series of numbers such as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, and we will remember—we recognise the pattern. So the first thing to do if you want a task manager to work is to collect everything and not trust your brain to remember to do the task. The second area of a task manager is the storage area. I like to think of this as a holding pen for tasks I have not yet decided when I will do them or are not due today. If we were not organising tasks into holding pens, our inbox—the place you collect your tasks—would soon be swamped. Once that happens you stop looking at it and it becomes a waste of time. This means every 24 hours or so, you want to be clearing out your inbox, making decisions about when you will do a task and storing them in appropriate holding pens. Now, there's a lot of variability in how you organise your tasks. For instance, I organise my collected tasks into time sectors—ie when I am going to do the task. For me, all I want know is whether I will do the task this week, next week, this month, next month or sometime in the distant future. Other ways to organise your tasks would be by context. This is more commonly known as the GTD method (Getting Things Done) Here you would organise tasks by what you need to do the task—such as a computer, or where you would do the task—in your office or at home, or person, such as your boss, partner or colleague. The truth is you can organise your tasks in whatever way you want. The important thing is; the way you organise your holding pens needs to work for you. The thing about these holding pens is you do not work directly from them. They are simply storage areas. They are for planning purposes only. In my coaching programme, I can quickly tell if a client does any planning by where they choose their next task. If they are in and out of their holding pens looking for tasks to do, that's a clear indicator that no planning is being done. Essentially, you are planning every time you complete a task and move on to the next one. This means instead of spending thirty minutes or so on at the end of the week doing a weekly plan, you are doing micro planning between tasks and that adds up to a lot more time than thirty minutes over the course of a week. It's a very inefficient way of managing your tasks. It's a little like working in a shop. If you do your planning, the stock you need is right there in the shop on a shelf where the customer can pick it up, bring it to the counter and pay for it. It's a seamless, efficient way to conduct your business. If you don't do your stock planning, a customer would come in, ask you for a particular product and you would need to walk into the warehouse, find the box the product is in and bring it to the counter. It's incredibly inefficient and will leave you exhausted. And yet, according to statistics, 93% of people are doing no weekly planning. No wonder there are so many exhausted people. The final part of your task manager is your today list. It's this list that needs to be kept clean and tight. It must show you only the tasks that need to be completed today and not anything you might like to do. This is what I like to refer to as the business end of your task manager. If you do have extra time at the end of of your list, by all means go into your holding pens and look for a few tasks you can clear before the next day—or better still, take some well deserved rest. If you are collecting everything and doing your weekly and daily planning, when you start your day and open your today list, you can be confident that the tasks on this list are the only ones that need concern you today. When you have your task manager working in this manner, where you collect everything, process what you collected into their appropriate holding pens, (or delete the things that are no longer relevant) and you work primarily from your today list, you will find getting through the day Is easy. You won't feel as mentally exhausted because you are not doing mini-planning sessions between tasks,—which is a real drain on your mental resources—and you find you flow from one task to another. There are other strategies for managing your today list. For example, group similar tasks together so you are not switching your focus. This means if you have five or six calls to make, block an hour or so out and sit down and do them all together. Respond to your actionable emails all at once—as late in the day as you can as that prevents email ping-pong. Now the problem we all face today is in the competitive world of productivity apps the only way for developers to distinguish themselves from their competition is to keep adding features. We now have flags, which to be honest is quite useful, tags and labels, filters and multiple different views. While all these extra features may seem nice, none of them actually help you to do your work. We cannot do multiple tasks at the same time. I cannot make two phone calls at the same time nor can I write three articles. I can only do one task at a time. This means for me to be at my most focused, all I need to know is what to work on now, and then get on and do it without being distracted by what I need t todo next. If I have a lot of random tasks on my list, I've just slowed myself down because now I have to decide what to do. And human nature being what it is, I'm likely to pick the easiest task—just to complete a task and get the dopamine hit. This is a terrible way to do your work. You are at your best in the morning and that is the time to tackle the hardest tasks, leaving your easiest tasks to later in the day when you are not going to be at your best. So, Thomas, if you want to remove all the complexity, focus on the three areas of your task manager and make sure you get those parts working well for you. Ignore al the extra features—they may become useful later, but if you are starting out, focus your attention on collecting everything—make that a habit. Don't overthink how you structure your lists, folders etc. These are holding pens for when you do your planning, and make sure you spend enough time dong the work to clear your tasks each day. I hope that has helped, Thomas. Thank you for your question. And thank you to you too for listen. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

Podcast 256 This week, we're looking at the overwhelming number of so-called “projects” people create and why it's these that contribute to overwhelm and a lot of wasted time.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host for this show. I read David Allen's seminal book, Getting Things Done, around fifteen years ago, and it helped me to transform away from a manual Franklin Planner that had served me well for the previous 17 years to a fully digital productivity system. In Getting Things Done, David Allen defines a project as anything requiring two or more steps to complete. He also mentioned that most people have between thirty and a hundred projects at any one time. Now, if you are following a correct interpretation of GTD (as Getting Things Done is called), that would not pose a problem because projects are kept in file folders in a filing cabinet near your desk and your task manager is organised by context—meaning your lists are based around a place such as your workplace, home or hardware store, a tool such as your computer or phone or a person, such as your partner, boss or colleagues. Unfortunately, when apps began to appear, many app developers misread or misinterpreted the GTD concept and built their apps around project lists instead of contexts. It could also have been a concern for intellectual property rights. But either way, this has led to people organising their task list managers by project and not context. And it is this that has caused so much to go wrong for so many people. This week's question is on this very subject and why managing your task manager by your projects is overwhelming and very ineffective. So, without further ado, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Lara. Lara asks, hi Carl, Last year I read the Getting Things Done book and have really struggled to get it to work for me. I have nearly 80 projects in my task manager, and I feel I am spending too much time keeping everything organised. I never seem to be able to decide what to work on, and everything feels important. Do you have any suggestions on spending less time managing work and more time doing the work? Hi Lara, thank you for your question. So, as I mentioned in the opening, the problem here is you are managing your projects in the wrong place. Task managers are there to manage your tasks, not your projects. If you want to manage projects with software, you would be better off purchasing dedicated project management software. However, those apps can be very expensive and have been designed for corporations and large teams working on a single project. Apps like Monday.com and Wrike are examples of accessible project managers. However, apps like these are designed for teams of people working together on a single project and will not solve your problem of being able to spend more time doing your work and less time organising it. Now, you did not mention if you wanted to continue using the GTD model or not, but if you want to get things better organised, the first step would be to remove your projects from your task manager and replace your lists with something you can better manage. Now, I use the Time Sector System to manage my tasks. This means my task manager is organised by when I will do the task. There are five time sectors: This week, next week, this month, next month and long-term and on hold. This means when a task comes into my task manager, the only thing I need to decide is when I will do the task. If it needs doing this week, it will be added to my This Week folder; if it does need doing this week, I will distribute it accordingly. In the GTD world, you need to set up your task manager by your different contexts. These can be anything, but they do need to work for you. While in the GTD book, David Allen gives us examples of @office, @computer, @phone and @home etc, these are a bit out of date today. We can do email from a computer, tablet or phone, and many of us work in a hybrid way in that we do a lot of work working from home. Now, I've seen some people organise their work by energy level: for instance, high energy would be for big tasks that require quite a bit of time, low energy would be for easy tasks that can be done at any time. The great thing about GTD is you can choose your own contexts that better fit your lifestyle. However, a better way to manage all this is to treat the folders in your task manager as holding pens for tasks yet to be done. The only thing that really matters is what you have to do today. Allowing yourself to be distracted by what can be done tomorrow or next week will slow you down and bring with it a sense of overwhelm. But, before we get there, let's look at how you are defining a project. In GTD a project is defined as anything requiring two or more steps. This is where I think GTD breaks down. For example, arranging for my car to go in for a service will require more than one step. I need to confer with my wife for a suitable day that we both will be available, I need to call the dealership to book the car in and I need to add the date to my calendar because the dealership is sixty miles away from where we live. Yet, the only task I have in my task manager is an annual, recurring task that comes up on the 1st September reminding me to book my car in for a service. When that task appears, I know to ask my wife when she will be available. I don't need three tasks all written out in a separate project. Equally, much of the work we do is routine. For example, every week, I need to write a blog post, two essays, prepare and record this podcast and create two to three YouTube videos. Technically, in the GTD world, each of those tasks are projects. There are more than one step involved in each of those pieces of content. But I do not treat them as individual projects. They are tasks I just do. I know I need around five hours a week for writing, so I block out five hours each week for writing on my calendar. I need three hours to prepare this podcast and another three hours for recording and editing my YouTube videos. As I know the amount of time I need for each of my pieces of work, I block the time out in my calendar. Now, in your case Lara, what is the work you have to do each week? Before you do anything else, block out sufficient time for getting that work done on your calendar now. Let's say for example; you are in sales and each day you want to contact ten prospects. How long does that take you? If that takes you an hour each day, then you need to block an hour out on your calendar to do that work. There's no point in ‘hoping' you will find the time. You won't. If it is something you must do or want to do, you need to allocate sufficient time for doing it. On your calendar, you would write “Sales Calls”. In your notes, or a spreadsheet, you would have a list of people to contact. In this example, it's unlikely you need a task for this because your calendar is dictating what you will do and the list of people to contact are in a dedicated CRM, spreadsheet or notes app. You don't need to duplicate things. Let's look at a different kind of project. Let's say you are moving house. That's a big project. How would we manage that? My advice is open your notes app. Project like this that are going involve checklists, emails, images, designs, things to buy, copies of contracts and so much more would never work well in a task manager. You are also likely to need a file folder on your computer to keep all these documents. On your calendar, you will have your moving date and perhaps a few extra days for organising your new home. What would go on your task manager? Very little. You may have tasks such as send signed contracts to landlord or your lawyers, or to call the electricity company to notify them of your moving in date, but you would be managing a project like this from your notes app, not a task manager. Most of our difficulties with task managers is we are putting too much in there. There's a limit to what we can do each day. We are constrained by the time available. It's that part of the equation we cannot change. Time is fixed. The only thing we have any control over is what we do in the time we have available. And it's there where we need to get realistic. If you begin the day and there are 60+ tasks in your task manager for today, you have failed. You will never complete all those tasks. You've got to get realistic about what you can achieve each day. For me, if my task manager has more than twenty tasks to do, I know I am not going to complete them all. I will go into my task manager and reschedule some of those tasks. It's no good telling myself these tasks have to be done, because I already know I will not have enough time to do them all. You need to get strict about what must be done and what can be rescheduled for another day. So, Lara, my advice is move your projects out of your task manager and into your notes. Whether you use Apple Notes, Evernote, Notion or OneNote (or something else), it's your notes app that will better manage your projects. You can keep copies of relevant emails, links to documents and so much more in your notes. You can also create checklists. I will be travelling to Europe in a couple weeks. It's a ten day trip and I've create a note for the trip in my notes app. That note contains my travel checklist, copies of my flight confirmation email, and a list of the things I need to do while there. There is nothing in my task manager. A few weeks ago, there was. I had a single task telling me to book my flights. Now that's done everything related to this trip is managed from my notes app. The goal, is to keep your task manager clean and tight. Only relevant things that need to be done should be there. Routines such as cleaning my office and doing my admin and cleaning my actionable email each day are in there—while I don't really need these reminders, they are there in case I have an emergency and need need a lit of things that should have been done where I can decide what must be done and what can be rescheduled. I hope that has helped Lara and thank you for your question. Thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.
