Technique for Managing Tasks with Consider Tasks

Using consider tasks is a technique for managing tasks efficiently without the need to surface individual tasks daily. By setting up consider tasks that point back to comprehensive lists, tasks are surfaced at the right time, reducing pressure and avoiding having tasks fall through the cracks. This approach allows a softer and more flexible task management style, ensuring that essential tasks are completed without overwhelming the daily to-do list. By manually selecting tasks to add to the list, there is a higher level of commitment and the ability to adjust based on real-time circumstances. Automating task additions may lead to tasks being added prematurely, which could disrupt the workflow. Maintaining a balance between planning and flexibility is crucial to ensure tasks are done at the right time, avoiding system failures and increasing productivity.
