To Do Lists That Work: The To Do List Formula Used By The World's Most Successful People
What if everything you've learned about time management and to do lists is wrong? What if there's a better way to manage your time, keep track of your tasks, and prioritise your workload?
What if you never needed to write a to do list again?
If you're like most people, you write lists of all the tasks you need to do. You may even have a separate list for things to do at work and things to do at home. Of course, as you get busier and take on more responsibilities, your to do lists continue to grow.
Before long, your to do lists have spiralled out of control, and the list is no longer serving its purpose.
As to do lists become more complicated, new problems emerge. How do you prioritise the various items on your list? Is it better to start with the easiest tasks every day? You'll get the short-term satisfaction of striking out four or five items from your list. But when will you start the harder, longer, or more complicated tasks? If you devote your energy to a longer or harder task, when will you tackle the smaller, admin-style tasks?
There must be an easier way.

It offered some helpful perspectives on how to keep from letting unimportant activities dominate your day. I read this at the same time as Mel Robbins' 5 second journal. Both have been helpful!

Really interesting perspective on productive time use.
As someone who has only ever succeeded with a pomoduro this is a method i will explore further.
Refreshingly brief and concise without some of the time wasting filler found in other kindle books written for a quick buck,this has really useful casestudies, actions and ideas.

To do lists, always expand and to quote "I once read that if you lose an hour in the morning you'll spend the rest of the day trying to catch it. That's me most days."

This might work well for someone who is 90% autonomous and their life only has 3 basic moving parts. It's pretty much worthless for anyone who's schedule depends on other entities or machines.
