Tasks

Over the years this has been a mighty bane in my life.



I've been on two time management courses, the last of which I remember proudly announcing that I kept the task list stable at 100 tasks using Microsoft Outlook and possibly an HP iPAQ since that was the only device I cud sync to the work network and use personally.

I think, even as I heard this, I wondered why this list cudn't be stabilised at 0 and in the background I set this challenge, the result of which is below :

In order for tasks to be completed, at some point they need to be transferred to a calendar thereby achieving 2 things :

A shorter list
A time for the task

And then later when the task appointment comes up 2 things can happen

The task gets moved
The task gets done

And then it seemed that the task list was of itself acting as a middle tool and if this was removed this cud achieve 2 things

Tasks straight to calendar
A time for the task

Achieving 2 things

Better time management
A sense of happiness.
