The Best Minute: Staying on top of your tasks, not needing stuff, and faithfulness

1 PRODUCTIVITY SOLUTION FROM ME

Here’s a simple tip to stay on top of all your tasks; keep all your tasks in one place.

The best way to keep things from falling through the cracks is to keep all your tasks in one place. The more places you have to go looking for what you have to do, the more likely something will be missed.

I use (and recommend) me that is Todoist. This doesn't mean everything I have to do is added to my task manager right away, but it does mean it will end up there. For example, sometimes things get filtered through my email first, which I then archive the email (so it is out of my inbox) and put a task on Todoist (with a due date) so I know it will be dealt with.

Sometimes I write something down on a sticky note, but then I keep that sticky note with me until the task is put in Todoist.

Having sticky notes for some things, a journal for others, and a task list app for everything else takes more mental energy to keep up with and won't be accessible to you everywhere you go. Keep all your tasks in one place and they will be easier to stay on top of.

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I. Hugh McLeod on not needing a lot of stuff to be successful:

“There's no correlation between creativity and equipment ownership. None. Zilch. Nada. Actually, as the artist gets more into his thing, and as he gets more successful, his number of tools tends to go down. He knows what works for him. Expending mental energy on stuff wastes time.”

II. Garrett Kell on God’s faithfulness:

“10,000 years from now, when we know what God knows, we will not accuse Him of anything except that He has always been faithful.”

I INTERESTING FACT

Apples you buy from the store can be up to a year old.

“Fresh” apples aren’t all that fresh, per say. They’re usually picked between August and November, covered in wax, hot-air dried, and sent into cold storage. After six to twelve months, they finally land on your grocery store shelves.
