Except there's no solution for the notes that are notes, and it all blends together so that the main task text is hard to read at a glance. So it doesn’t matter if half the project is in Today and half in Next, I can see immediately what it relates to or even pull up a tag report. Plus, where do I put notes that are actually notes and not sub-tasks?Įxample 3: No problem - each project becomes a tag or abbreviation at the beginning of each item. This is good because you can collapse things to keep it clean, and sub-tasks are sub-tasks……but wait, now my Today / Next sections are pointless and nothing can be prioritized. But eventually, especially when I'm busy, some of the notes will become sub-tasks, and they get a little lost, and I never check anything off…Įxample 2: So I build a hierarchy. Having it in a table lets my main task text stand out, but gives me a place to add in notes. Great for working on Annual Review.) The format of this list changes slightly depending on the work I'm doing, but I keep running into the same aggravations.Įxample 1: Usually my list looks like this. (At the end of the month, the page is copied into an archive, and on the original page the completed tasks are cleared out. The Today / Next / Completed sections work great for me, and I spend the day shifting things from Next to Today based on priority. My work to-do list is in OneNote mostly because the linking is indispensable.

And hey, if there's a solution I'm all for it. Ideas / thoughts welcome! I don't expect a solution but it's great to hear different takes.
