At the beginning of each week, I make a short list of important tasks to work on. Always nice when it’s midweek and a bunch of things are done, sometimes everything. I’ve found this approach works well for me… Each week is a reset with achievable goals.

@manton Do you have a master list of tasks that you pull from each week?

@manton Sounds like, not only a great business plan, but also a plan that makes your mental health stable and good. If you’re done half week, I bet there are always some stuff that needs a little TLC to work on, or, sometimes not, and a bit of personal TLC and family time is better. This may be an idea for a second book. 😃

@manton That's a great idea. I tend to go off a daily focus list but when the day doesn't go as planned, I feel very unsuccessful even though I may have accomplish a lot. I like the idea of a weekly perspective.

@manton @help hi there :-) It seems that cdn.micro.blog certificate expired and it's not serving some files. The website's currently broken.

@otaviocc – should be working again. Sorry about that. Had to disable the CDN as I don't have access to AWS to renew it.

@manton is the list on paper, computer, or both?

@kevrodg Computer. I used to use paper and notebooks more, but haven't in a while.

@greghiggins Nope, no master list. I used to log everything in a bug/feature database, but I've found that it's a lost cause because it just grows indefinitely and becomes overwhelming. I pretty much always know what is important, and if I'm off course, customers will tell me.

@vincent no need to say sorry! This kinda of thing happen. Thanks for fixing it promptly.

@manton That's a good point! Do you have a set number of tasks you try to write down and complete every week? Or does it just vary week to week due to needs, etc?

@manton Also, it works great when you work for yourself and not for/with others 😁

@manton fact

@greghiggins No set number of tasks. Just based on what feels right. Usually a small list, 3-5 things.
