How I manage my todos

To manage my todos, I use a mishmash of Getting Things Done, Bullet Journal and personal likings.

• I try to capture todos with whatever of these three methods is most convenient at the time
  • Paper: I use squared paper and three symbol types, ᐧ (dot) for a todo, o for a log ("I worked out for 3 minutes" and - for a thought
  • Audio: I use a Zoom H1 voice recorder to capture stuff in situations where I do not want to write
  • Todoist: If on the computer, I save all todos directly in Todoist's Inbox
• At the end of every day I transfer todos from paper and audio to Todoist
• On paper I mark the transferred items with a > and shred the paper once I transferred all items
• In Todoist is use projects with emoji names
• I move all todos into the respective project
• I keep it simple and work on projects and prioritize within them by sorting the todos manually
• Seldomly I use labels: I have labels for lengths, such as _5, _25 and _50 and also labels for context, such as _email and _call that I sometimes use to prioritize
