Episode notes
Keep A Simple Cross-Off To-Do System

Separate Immediate Tasks From Big Projects
- Separate long-term projects from immediate tasks using distinct lists or folders to avoid losing sight of big goals.
- Maintain a global project list at company scale to track hundreds of initiatives and resource allocation.
