Thank you Dwight and Stéph. I definitely agree with both of you guys. I've wondered how I should organize my task so that I can easily see what task I should complete next. I too agree that spending too much time managing your task rather than completing your task is counter productive. I did not find an easy and low maintenance solution so I decided to keep my task managing process very simple.
Each morning, I review my task and sometimes I manually organize my list in order or other times I star the tasks that I want to work on and use a star filter view to only see the starred + active tasks. All the time spent sorting the task sometimes feels wasteful as it does not sync to other devices. I do not enter much information in my tasks. I usually would but not always enter start dates, due date, context, and notes. I use reminders only for tasks that are time sensitive. When you are in the tasks completing mood then I use a filter to focus on those task. I agree with Stéph that filters is the way to go! What I do need is tips on how to motivate myself to complete those overdue tasks! =D On Wednesday, December 7, 2016 at 3:12:20 AM UTC-5, c.k. lester wrote: > > How do you guys make sure your task list is proper.
