How do you keep track of tasks?

4 replies
Aside from what the sales pages of WSOs and 'make money while you sleep' say, most of us have pretty darn busy days in order to make a living online.

How do you keep track of tasks as they come in? How do you prioritize and how do you schedule?

I keep it simple - using the Stickies available on Windows. I keep columns for 'Today' 'This week' and 'At some point' - as well as a section for interesting thoughts that come to mind and another for links I find that I want to come back to.

Do you have a system? If not - get onto it!

    Nope and thats just one of my many problems. Just been lucky so far. If I get to far behind I just outsource more is all. Need to get a system but Im systemless for now.

    I've been using a piece of software called "Action Machine" it works pretty good for keeping focus on various tasks, and let's set yourself a time limit. This allows me to make sure I'm not over scheduling myself.

    I like Vitalist. It works well with Getting Things Done, which I read last year and highly recommend.

      I just make a daily "to do" list and try to prioritize it by putting what's most important at the top of the page. I keep the list in front of me by the computer all day and cross things off the list as I do them. It's a very satisfying feeling to cross things off the list! But I'd be lost without it. I make a new one for the next day every night before I turn off the computer, so the list is ready and waiting for me when I get to work the next day.
