Imagine you have more than three different tasks to complete today. And imagine\u2014even if it\u2019s hard to do\u2014that your memory is about as bad as mine. With more than three tasks, you might grab a pen and a piece of paper and write them down. Everything I want to get done today or soon. And then you realize: There\u2019s no point in cleaning windows when it\u2019s raining. We\u2019ll put that off until tomorrow. And taking out the glass today, on a holiday, when it\u2019s strictly forbidden and might disturb people\u2014we\u2019ll put that off until tomorrow, too. As for replying to that email, I was able to take care of that over breakfast. Wonderful\u2014now I can cross it off the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do we do now with the nice little note we made this morning at breakfast? We have crossed-out tasks, and we have tasks we have to postpone until tomorrow or later, and we have tasks that are still relevant today. So we cross out tasks on the note and try to postpone things until tomorrow, but wait\u2014postpone: How does that work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s simple: For each task, we tear off a small piece of the sticky note app, and we rearrange the torn-off pieces. Completed tasks that have been crossed out go to the left, and the others are moved around in whatever order works best at the moment. We repeat this same process of tearing and rearranging at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., noon, and 1 p.m. And the tasks we wanted to postpone until tomorrow\u2014we can\u2019t even find the sticky notes for those anymore. They\u2019re somehow gone. Someone must have thrown them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, then we\u2019ll just write down the tasks we wanted to do tomorrow all over again. And two hours later, we\u2019ll write them down again. And tear up the sticky notes again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously? Really? That can’t be it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, we have computers, and if you take a look in the App Store\u2014or the Google Play Store if you’re on Android\u2014you’ll find that there are dozens, many dozens of apps dedicated to nothing but tasks and to-do lists. They’re pretty powerful. For each task, I can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
