My notes

Five features every good task management system should have:

  1. Reliable - System must be trustworthy
    1. If you don’t trust it, you won’t use it.
  2. External - Get tasks out of your head
    1. Don’t rely on memory
  3. Doable - Tasks should be clear and actionable
    1. Asks should require minimal interpretation
    2. It should be glanceable
    3. Use verbs. Write in clear, actionable language.
  4. Exhaustive - there should be only one central place for all tasks
  5. Engaging - System should invite focused work
    1. It should invite You to do Focused Work.
      1. Aesthetics are important too. If you hate the look or feel of a tool then you're not going to want to use it.
    2. It should not overwhelm or confuse you
    3. Make it so you want to use your system.
  6. Manageable - Simple enough to provide clarity
