I think I found the perfect question. No, really. I found a question I can ask almost anyone. It will elicit a genuine, honest, thoughtful response. It’s a useful subject. It’s something that they think about regardless of what they do for a living. And it’s something that most people struggle with because they know they haven’t quite gotten it right. And I’m included in that. And the question is, what do you use for a to-do list?
You’re thinking about that now and feel free to pause it and then continue. But the answer typically is well I use a number of things. You know sometimes there’s some frustration there where someone says well this is what works best for me so far and I know it’s not the best. They’ll use a combination of a calendar post-it notes notes emails to themselves. Uh maybe they use an old style paper planner. Maybe they try to go without one and it adds even more stress to them. They put things into a document, but there’s typically not this universal perfect answer. And again, I am one of those people.
Designing the Ideal To-Do List: A Wishlist
So, I thought long and hard and I thought, you know what? I I I miss having a Franklin planner from a long time ago in which I could write down my to-do items and then I could transfer them to the next day, the ones that I didn’t fill out, and they’d be there waiting for me the next day. Plus, I’d sleep better. So, then I got thinking about what my ideal to-do list would be. Like, if I got my wishes, what would I do? Well, I’d want something that was small enough to carry with me at all times. And I already carry my phone with me at all times. So, maybe it should be something my phone can do. I’d want to be able to just make a simple list with really no limits. When I check off an item, it leaves it in the past so that the next day, the stuff I didn’t check are automatically there waiting for me. I would probably want to be able to color code things because you can pick out differences in things with colors far faster than you can in any other way.
I wouldn’t want to prioritize things because I’m already prioritizing things. I don’t want to do master project planning with a to-do list. That’s a whole separate set of software tools and so forth. And as I talk about in my book, because prioritization is something you’re already doing anyway in your head. And even if you put something at number one and you agree with it, you’re still going to scan the list and go, “Well, which one of these is kind of fun and feels good to do and it’s kind of easy? I’ll do that one right now.” So th that’s basically it for my core desire features.
From Core Features to a Fantastical Wishlist
So then I got thinking about, well, what would an ideal to-do list do? Well, besides it automatically carrying stuff forward to the next day, what if I could look back at a previous day and go, oh wait, what did I accomplish yesterday? And it unlike the written planner, it wouldn’t have the stuff I didn’t do. It only would have the stuff I did do. What if there was something that I was staring at and I thought to myself, you know what? I got to take care of that tomorrow. I would love to just send it into the future to tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, what if it was Wednesday and you thought, you know what, I got to do this thing on Saturday.
