Yes agree 100% on Someday/Maybe as context (which can then be hidden). Another key thing that helps me is making sure task dependencies are properly set. I often use subtasks and frequently use the 'subtasks must be completed in order' as it helps a LOT with clutter from a project.
Just for reference, I have a structured list with 4 main categories: [work] [career] [home] [personal] inbox Then different things under each ([home]-[seasonal]-[summer] for recurring summer tasks, for example) where things have subtasks. Hope this helps. Fernando On Tuesday, July 14, 2020 at 12:59:20 PM UTC-4 [email protected] wrote: > I'd seriously recommend utilizing a "Someday/Maybe" list for some of your > tasks.
