Is your todo list overwhelming? Check this out.

I used Getting Things Done (GTD) for years. But about five years ago, it stopped working for me. Keeping everything in one place without much delineation as to its importance overwhelmed me. Since then, I've been on the hunt for systems and tools that will help me cut down the overwhelm and find clarity.
Recently, I came across a mindset some product managers use to roadmap work called "Now/Next/Later". I've been experimenting with this setup in Todoist with a decent amount of success.

I'm interested to see how you would set this up in your Todoist mixing projects and tasks in the various lists/stages you have outlined. Would be nice to see this shown on screen with a temporary project which you could delete afterwards.

Nice! Reminds me of Carl Pullein’s “Time Sector System,” just a bit simplified. I’m headed your direction with how I manage stuff, too. Too often Areas and Projects become places where tasks go to die. Time-driven organizations are getting more popular for a reason. Well done!

I love this! My brain didn’t like GTD and I’ve struggled managing my tasks for a while. I’d also be interested in how you have lists for projects and tasks. Do you associate the tasks to the projects? I couldn’t figure this out and keep them in separate columns. Thank you for the inspiration. Looking forward to experimenting with my system.

Very nice. I like how you distill GTD down from a "process" to "practical buckets" to help categorize tasks/todos. I use TickTick, and applying this sort of concept may help me to better organize. Thanks!
