I make a list of things todo every morning. How to make a plan in a fixed form, which makes you work more effectively?
I write a list on word and at the end of the day I review my list.. I highlight things in green if completed, move things I was unable to complete to the next day and highlight things that I could have done, but slacked off in in red.
I also write a short paragraph recapping how things went.. things I was happy with, things I wasn't, what I want to get done the next day..
This is good because it holds me accountable, green highlighting feels good, red highlighting doesn't so its a habit that sustains itself quite well if I follow it.. Although sometimes (like right now) I stray from it slightly and don't do it every day..
I notice a definite difference in my days productivity and how I feel in general when I do and don't adhere to this system.
Would definitely recommend it
My schedule is like javascript's event loop. Life doesn't throttle tasks for me so I'm full to my throat.
I pick the first from the stack, try doing it..can't ? I throw an error
Then I pick the next one from the stack..
Life goes on.

Good ol' pen and paper. Tried so many other things, but nothing works quite as well for me. I just want a to-do list that's easy to reference, easy to cross things off of, and no bells and whistles. Writing things down on a a notepad that sits next to me is simply faster than bringing up some to-do list somewhere else and referencing it. It's always there, right next to me, and all I have to do is glance at it to see what things I need to get done.
