I’m following Tim Ferriss’ approach “make before managing” which is — create something valuable first in your focus time, then do the rest like social media, emails, responding to Slack, paying bills, etc.
It really resonates and I even have this as a recurring item in my TODOs
I apply this in what I do when, so mornings are for thinking and afternoons are for "factory" work. If I switch it around I can redo all my afternoon thinking the next morning.
Very smart way to “reload” the context into your brain again. 🧠
I will try your pro-tip tomorrow when I have my lunch break. (Hopefully I can embrace it as a habit)
Not related todos, but also a life hack: I have a WhatsApp “group” with only myself in it and I post interesting posts, links and (funny) images to myself as a read later list. Sometimes with keywords for better search results.
I’m curious for more life hacks of your followers…
One of the things which I'm thankful almost every day! Beside yellow notes, Todo lists, project management, notebook etc. 😅 But this one is the simplest one!

In the end I turned my inbox into a todo list with Spark + Mail to self 😄
It’s MonoLisa

I always get distracted and get into unrelated rabbit holes

Some sort of continuation note for end of day, covers all other windows…
I had the same idea, so two years ago I build https://pqina.nl/hotlist, just a quick todo app to track daily todo’s.
But I tend to use the simplest solution, which is a text editor window that is open anyway. 😊
