I rebuild my task management system. Again. But not from scratch and intentionally.

Much advice on task management systems is about how to organize your tasks, and in most cases – how to add structure. In my opinion, this is wrong and you should always seek ways to reduce organization – until it’s enough.

I think a good thing to borrow from the product world for our lives is the hypothesis/experiment cycle.

There are two important skills to achieve and sustain happiness in life – life appreciation and result authorization.

I would talk about media backlog here. My list included: books, short stories, comics, games, movies and series. I would refer to this works as just items or entries, just for simplification. I also would use a verb “consume” without “consumerism” aspect, just as analogue of read/watch/play.

There is an eternal problem with backlog list: how to make it to stop growing. There so much I want to read, play, see. And so good recommendations.

One of the most effective techniques I try ti use is conscious pause after completing the task. It works for both personal and work stuff.

I’ve been keeping a diary journal for few years now. I’m just a human being, so I don’t write every day. And sometimes it’s just a short sentence, other times it’s a couple of reflections. But I try to stick to this habit because even minimal written reflection is much more effective than simply thinking things through in your head. As for the other benefits of journaling, there’s already so much information out there that you can easily find it.

For some time now (from February or even earlier) I have a daily practice called “On this day”. I read any diary entries I have for this calendar day for previous years (2014, 2016 and from 2019 until now).

What’s the profit? Besides obvious reasons like recalling events and comparing yourself with the past one?
