Ep. 273: Are Long Lists a Problem for You?

Getting Things Done

NOTE

Define and Distinguish for Clarity

Long lists can overwhelm individuals, creating a perception that may hinder productivity. To manage this, it is crucial to maintain distinct lists: separate projects, next actions, and items on hold (like 'waiting for' or 'someday/maybe'). Mixing these elements leads to longer and less effective lists, which challenges clarity and focus. By avoiding the amalgamation of different types of items, individuals can enhance their organizational effectiveness and reduce the cognitive load associated with lengthy lists.
