Plan a task capture and review routine
Plans a simple routine for capturing tasks in one place and reviewing them daily and weekly, sized to the minutes you can spare.
Task:
Plan a routine that gets every task into one place and keeps that list under control with short reviews.
Context:
Tasks reach me through [email, chat, meetings, paper or my head]. I currently keep them in [current places]. I have [minutes] a day and [minutes] a week for reviews. The tool I would use is [task app or tool].
Rules:
- Describe a capture step that takes under 30 seconds, an inbox, and one rule to decide what happens to an item.
- Give a daily review of at most [minutes] minutes and a weekly review of at most [minutes] minutes, each as a short checklist.
- Name the most likely way this routine fails for someone like me and one fix.
- Keep the routine independent of one specific app's features, and tell me to adapt the steps to my tool.
Result:
A one-page routine with the sections capture, daily review and weekly review, then one line on the likely failure and its fix.
