About Timo Kiander
I am the queen of the open task list – which isn’t always a good thing. I like your simple suggestion about creating a closed task. Though I think I’m going to take some of those newly added tasks and re-route them for a later date on my calendar. I think too often I make things a rush-rush priority when they’re really not.

Hi Monique!
Thank you!
In fact, this is the advice I got from Mark Forster’s “Do it tomorrow and other secrets of time management”.
It’s a great read and highly recommended.
Cheers,

Wow, that’s a simple but powerful activity… so many people find themselves reacting to their day as opposed to planning proactively. There’s no way you can stick to your priorities when you’re playing what I can to-do list “whack a mole.”
Hi Jeff!
It sure it :)
Sometimes the simplest ones are the most powerful.
Cheers,
Timo
