Any paper-based method of tracking and prioritizing one's tasks which requires more than two pages to summarize is actually a method of providing an income stream for the person(s) who created it, and a way to goof off while telling yourself you are "doing" "work".
Examples: GTD, Pomodoro, BuJo.
There is usually a decent method for managing tasks hidden deep within one of these methods. Extract it, apply it, and use it to help yourself focus on doing the shit that actually matters to you and the people around you.
oh yes, there is room for a couple more pages to say "start by using a slightly modified version of this to track al the crap you have to do for a while, then start thinking hard about how long these things actually take, and which ones are actually important to you"
but you can't make a profit off of about four pages so these things get endlessly extended and complicated with every personal tweak that worked for someone, somewhere, ever
and you start selling branded notebooks and pens and
@anthracite As much as I like the aesthetics of bujo and have found it useful at times in my life it’s definitely not a productivity driver. The thing I’ve found it’s good at is helping me keep up a ‘streak’ - days I exercised or did my skincare or took vitamins or w/e. I think it’s better for self care checklist stuff than ‘work’ (I know, self care is work in its own way but it doesn’t generate income, lol). I wholly agree otherwise (I feel this way about trello).
