I'm also perceived as a highly organized and productive person. Sometimes, that's far from the truth.
In my line of work - creating jewelry and accessories - I write many tasks lists to keep me on point with my production expectations. However, most times, I end up riding into the sunset with so many other creations that weren't on the list or even in my thoughts at the time the list was being written.
Don't get me started on writing in multiple books! I currently have 6 books on my work desk that I write in frequently. My intention was to write different things in each book in order to stay "organized". Ha! What a joke! I do try but at this point every book has been compensating for each other. I choose one then start writing. Whether it be tasks, ideas, random thoughts or goals etc. I do believe that my Gratitude journal is the only one that has lived up to its sole purpose.
Although I prefer to write, I'm not always able to grab a book. Therefore, I've spent a lot of time researching, downloading and trying out mobile apps. I'm presently using an app called "Tasks" and it works very well for me. I've been using it for over 2 years (if memory serves me correctly). It's user friendly interface and customizable features allows me to organize and review tasks dependent on my mood each time I open the app. Literally!
Of course, you know that I have 5 million lists running in this app, all filled with another 10 millions tasks. Sigh, but I've definitely seen a difference with my overall productivity in life when I actively use the app. So in honesty it works well enough!
At the end of the day, I'm yet to figure out a fool proof or "PERFECT" way to stay on top of tasks. I'm of the firm belief that there's absolutely no such thing!
I am really happy to know I'm not alone here. The many notes books to house different things... I've so been there and then all things end up in all books lol... I love the idea of a gratitude journal but can never stick to it... the writing it down that is... I try my best to focus on the things I'm grateful for on a daily basis though.
I have being doing my Journaling on my on my iPad though in my attempt to use less paper and it works well for that, but there is just something about having a notebook and actual ink pens that just does it for me...lol.
I will be looking into the app *Task* thank you for sharing that with us.
Nonetheless we keep tweaking until we find a system if not a specific tool that works for us.
Ah yes! Thank you for sharing this!
