| I use a A4 size paper notebook. Every day, I use a new "double page", put the date on it and reserve the left upper quarter for a Todo-List (max 5 items) and its specific notes AND all appointments with time for this day. The list is only for this single day. The rest 3/4 of the two pages is for notes from meetings or ideas. If there is not enough room, I just turn over and use the next two pages completely for notes. If I don't need the second page, I don't use it or paint something nice (this is important, because I don't wanna turn pages for a single day) If I remind a todo, that is not for today, I put it on the LAST 2 pages of the notebook. One is for SOON (last page) and the other is for ANYTIME (before SOON). My daily routine is: - Check yesterday, put all unfinished todos on the top of the new page - Check my calendar and also put all important appointments on the list - Check the notes from yesterday, if there is something important - Check the last two pages, if there is something, I might wanna do today - Use my smartphone to "screenshot" yesterday and mail it as backup - Having the paper notebook ALWAYS with me Works pretty good so far, but it requires discipline and it's a lot of management work. But it is also a good "worklog"... |
