    I usually create it in evening for the next day

    Yes, I have a living task list where all my tasks are added, sorted by project, and prioritized. Then, when I start work in the morning, I just work on the highest priority task for the project time block.
    I do have a work diary where I write the date, then list out all tasks that I want to get to that day (along with people who I need to work with or follow up). Happens 4 out of 5 days, and sort of helps to get that feeling of "I did this" at the end of the day.

    Have you heard of interstitial journaling? https://betterhumans.pub/replace... What do you think of it?

    Yes. I do old fashioned pen & paper.
    100% nothing more satisfying than crossing things off the list, and if I don't finish the whole list, Notion makes it easy to move them to the next day's tasks!

    Usually yes. Because I noticed an interesting thing that if I simply write down the tasks for the day somewhere ( notes on phone or piece of paper) in the morning, then in the evening most of them are completed. And this is despite the fact that I'm not looking into though the day. The brain somehow keeps more information about tasks if I've written in down previously.

    Crafting a task list is undeniably one of the most effective productivity hacks out there, Shaur!
    Yess! I always plan my work day by using Ivy Lee Method. It keeps me motivated and focused 😊
    @ericka_gonzalez That sounds great! Maybe I will give it a go :)

    @sandradjajic It's great to hear that! Could you please share the impact of this activity on your daily routine?

    @sandradjajic Love that! I use the Eisenhower Matrix to manage my tasks based on importance and urgency. I used to do simple to-do lists, but would find myself doing the wrong tasks first

    To be honest id depends. But I always have a weekly list for my social media posts
    Alex Radovichenko
    Yes! But sometimes I use a regular calendar for this

    Sometimes when the workload is more. Creating a task list before starting your workday can be highly beneficial in several ways. It helps you prioritize your work, stay organized, and maintain focus throughout the day. By having a clear list of tasks, you can better manage your time and ensure that important tasks are completed in a timely manner.

    Akiflow is perfect for this! I just wish it had support for handwritten notes/tasks!

    Everyone on our team has a task list in airtable. It's a constantly changing flow but it helps keep accountability and visibility into what everyone is working on. More importantly, what is getting done.

    We have a system we call “dots” that we review everyday. Dots are the top 2-3 things you have to accomplish that day. They take priority over everything else. We track these on Todoist via flags and filters.

    Absolutely! Creating a task list before starting the workday is like having a little roadmap for success. It keeps me organized, focused, and ready to tackle anything that comes my way. Happy planning and productive days ahead! 🌟

    Yes! I like to create a to-do list for the week and then break it down by day. I normally make a task list the week before and slowly add to it as the week goes on. Then I like to review it on Monday AM, and assess what is truly a priority and then create a daily list from there.

    Yes sometimes.
