 I want to share a couple of to-do list tips for those who use that tool. I've been using to-do list now. I don't know. It's been more than five years anyway. And prior to that, I jumped from this to-do software to that one to that one. So I've tried various ones and then some of them I tried for like two or three years. To-do list has been the longest-lasting one and I've still been quite happy about it. And it's very simple to get started and it's so full-featured now that it's ridiculous. It has so many things you can do with it. But let me give you a couple tips. Now, one thing that I won't be able to show you is my screen because there are some private to-do items there that, you know, I wish there was some kind of shell to-do list account I could use and show. Anyway, I'll just talk through. Those of you who used to-do list hopefully will be able to understand what I'm saying. First of all, to-do list has different priority levels. There's P1, 2, 3, and 4. P1 is red. P2 is orange. P3 is blue. And P4 is, I guess, clear, clear color flag. Four different color flags. Four priority levels. And the way I practically use that is P1 is basically before noon. Or like the first part of the day, P2 is the second part of the day. P3 is either, like, during my, right now, the way I use P3 is like evening, evening to-dos. And P4 is optional slash to-be categorized still. So those of you who use it or use some kind of priority level for your task system, that might be real helpful to kind of think that, think it that way. Because when you look at the today list, oh, I got a lot of stuff to do today, the first step in prioritizing or decluttering or just making it more doable is to say, well, which one should come first versus second versus, you know, optional, right? So again, P1, I say the first part of the day, generally before noon, but it could be like before 2 p.m. or something. P2 is the second part of the workday. You know, the final few hours of the workday, P3 is evening slash free time or some pockets during the day, like during lunch, I could look at my P3 items to see it. Like more personal type stuff. P4 is like I still need to categorize it for today and complete option or like right before bed or something like that. So that's one tip that might help. The second tip that's helpful is I find myself using the recurring command a lot. So for example, you know, what's one cool thing about to do is that you can type something out on a task and just with a few keystrokes automatically categorize and put the right due date. So for example, if I said, you know, give buddy a bath, my dog. Give buddy a bath every two weeks. I know it sounds like not very much, but you're not supposed to bathe the dog very often. I actually, to be honest, don't tell me, but we only give buddy a bath when he rolls in something in the park. So that ends up being like once a week, three months or something. I'm not sorry, my wife wipes him down at night. Now we're talking in a dog, dog stuff. But so for example, right, give buddy a bath, I would type give buddy a bath and this would be during the evening. So it would be P3, give buddy a bath, space P3 and automatically it'll tag it correctly and space, you know, number sign personal is like personal category, right, personal projects. And then I'll do and then the final thing I'll type is every with an exclamation mark two weeks, just type it like that. Every exclamation mark two weeks. And what it knows how to do is immediately reads that to say, okay, every two weeks, when you complete that item, we will recurred for two weeks from now. So for example, let's say it came up today, give buddy a bath. I'm like, oh, I'm too tired, we're not going to do it today. Then I will set that to do date as tomorrow. I will click on the do date and I'll click tomorrow and it instantly it's tomorrow. Okay, good. Tomorrow rolls around. Okay, yeah, we'll give good buddy a bath. So we give gave buddy a bath, I checked that off and instantly knows, ah, two weeks from the completion date is when it will come back up again. So that's what every exclamation mark means versus every. If you if I just type every two weeks without the exclamation mark after the word every, it recurs every two weeks from the date I set the task in versus the date of completion. For example, if I created the task every two weeks starting January 1st, then even if I postponed the task, I didn't give buddy a bath on January 1st, I gave buddy a bath on January 3rd. And then I finally kept postponing it and then I finally checked out. Yes, I did it. It'll still recur on January 14th or 15th. You see what I mean because I started the task on January 1st every two weeks. So then the next date naturally is January 15th. If I put every exclamation mark, but I actually gave buddy a bath on January 3rd, it'll recur on January 18 because it it's recurring based on the completion moment instead of based on when I created the task. So that's the cool thing about every with an exclamation mark. And you can even shorten that by doing EV without typing the whole word every just EV exclamation mark or EV, whatever. So to us has like cool little tricks like that where it makes it easy for me to. So I have a bunch of recurring things that come up. It's like, Oh, yeah, that's right. Every six months, every nine months, every two years, every year, whatever may be, you know, pay property taxes. Actually, that is okay. That's a good example of where I it's not every exclamation mark is property taxes are due every April and every December. Doesn't matter if I keep postponing it several days. It's still I still wanted to come up on April that particular day. So then I do not use the exclamation markers. Anyway, so just a couple of to do is tips. Let's see what else is really useful. Oh, very importantly, no dating things is because like, when you start using it to do software like do is it's so tempting to set due dates for everything because you don't want to, you know, you don't want to go into a black hole, right? Like, oh, I wanted to come up because I want to keep her being reminded of what what this thing to keep slapping me in my face, so that I'll actually do it at some point. Terrible way of productivity. Just like, let me let me leave this thing on my desktop. So I don't forget about it. Right. And then you start accumulating 12 different things on a desktop. So you don't forget about like, I'm looking at this one thing right here. It's completely faded into the background. I didn't even know was there. It's the thing I put there for two months ago. Didn't even know was there. But it's just cluttering up the stuff. Terrible way of doing it. Right. So same thing with to do items. You don't just let it keep slapping you in the face and keeps postponing it. Bad idea. Practice using no date, meaning there's no date on this thing. There's no due date. But Georgia goes to a black hole. But the way you do it is by following what I teach capture categorized calendar, which is like, for example, an item, books to read is a great example, right? Links to view, right? Movies to watch or software to look at whatever I want to keep slapping my face. No, I put it's a book to read. I categorize it under the books to read category. And if it's really important book to read, I really want to read this sooner rather than later. It's really going to help my business or my belt. Put it as priority one without a date. No date priority one. So next time you're ready to read a book. Oh, I have a whole list of books to read. I go into my books to read. I sort by priority. Ah, there it is, rather than letting it keep on bothering me and cluttering on my to-do list every five days or every two weeks or whatever it may be. Just it keeps creating guilt. Not good. So capture categorized calendar means for every category, like books to read or software to explore, links to look at, you have a calendar recurring calendar spot makes sense. So every two weeks, you have a half hour calendar item that says check out your books to read or check out your software to explore. And when that calendar comes up, you're being faithful to your loyal, gentle assistant to calendar, your wise past self that says wouldn't it be wise to look at books to read or software to look at every two weeks, every four weeks, every six weeks, whatever the calendar thing pops up Saturday at 4pm. Every four weeks pops up. Oh, good. Okay, Saturday at 4pm. I've carved out half an hour to look at software to look at, look at links to look at, look at books to read or oh, where do I have, what do I have links to look at? What do I have software to look at? What do I have books to read to do this? Let me look at that category. There's no date on these items. Wonderful. I prioritize them or now I can do so a little bit better. So please no date items. Don't let things keep making you feel guilty or you have to keep postponing things. There's no that's no way to treat yourself. Okay. No date items more often put in the category and then put a calendar reminder slot in some time for that area of life that you care about. So I hope this is helpful. If you have any other to do with tips, I will make a video about it. But for those who use it, I hope this is helpful. And if you have any to do with tips, comment below. Others will probably find it beneficial as well.
