Making a to-do list has become a popular task for many people, but - according to the article - they do not necessarily reflect why a task has been completed or not.
Instead, they simply become a list of tasks that can make you feel guilty.
Journaling can be a productive alternative to to-do lists, as it provides context, reflection, ideas and progress tracking.
The author chose to combine two journaling methods: bullet journaling and interstitial journaling.
The former uses rapid logging, which involves writing short, concise notes combined with symbols to track tasks, events and notes; the latter fills the gaps between tasks and events by recording any thoughts, reflections or progress notes.
By combining these two methods, it is possible to have a dynamic daily log, as well as a chronological narrative.
For those who prefer digital options, it is possible to use apps like Apple Notes, which offer several features, such as tables, Attachments and tagging options.
It’s important to review the tasks at the end of the day and decide what should be moved forward and what needs to be removed.
