I’ve never been good with todo lists but I tend to do pretty well with checking emails and managing my life that way. I’ll send myself reminders to do stuff in email and leave it unread.
I’m trying out a new system for that though because I just had too many emails in my inbox. I’m gotten down to inbox zero and I’m looking into a 3 folder system or a 5 folder system.
Just having an empty inbox so far has been quite liberating and it was quite a fun exercise going through 6 years of old emails and archiving them. It was almost like looking at old pictures. Remembering what was happening at that point in my life and thinking about what has changed since.
