In this way you will remember to do that thing every time that you will see it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Robert Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have \u201cwish lists\u201d in my phone in different categories of things I want to get done in general with no time line. Things that need to get done within the week are written down in my day planner and moved to each day until I complete them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Shea N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have sticky notes in every room in my house with a pen. That way everywhere I am if I think of something I can write it down. At the end of the day I look at my sticky\u2019s and write down important ones on my todo list in my notebook.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Trishna E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use an app called Todoist to keep track of my tasks, but sometimes I use regular paper too. If I have something that isn\u2019t urgent but still has to be completed someday, I\u2019ll keep it on that day\u2019s list but keep it at the lowest priority and not set a time block for that task. If I complete all of my tasks for the day and I\u2019m still feeling productive, I\u2019ll go ahead and get working on that task as well, so I won\u2019t procrastinate later on.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Carl W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use an app called Todoist where I sort all tasks into categories and get them done as I find the time. Some tasks are left indefinitely though.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adiel I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If it is a thing need a long time to finish,  I will separate into several little jobs that I could finish it easily. I will also think about if I don&#39;t finish a part of it , tomorrow will be more tired and more hard for me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Robert E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have different lists of tasks that I check periodically (weekly or monthly). I put them in a calendar entry that gives me a reminder either weekly or monthly. As I finish those tasks, I move them to the bottom (my \u201cDONE\u201d list). <\/p>\n<p>And then I copy that to a word document so I have a log of when I did stuff.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Daniel J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use a project management system with lists of lifetime, 3-year, 1-year, quarterly, monthly, and weekly goals. At the end of each time period I choose which goals I wanna work on during the next time period. So each Sunday I pick the projects I\u2019m going to work on that week. I use Monday.com but you could use any service or plain old lists if you want.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marcele N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I do a couple of things, really depending on what the \u201cthing\u201d that I need to do is and it\u2019s timeline&#x2F;nature. So sometimes I set reminders on my phone for a future time like a couple of days or the next day or a week- whenever I think I have the mental energy, time, etc to deal with whatever it is. I write it down sometimes in like a planner if it\u2019s homework or something related. I have taken to writing stuff in big lists on sticky notes (currently 4 with half dozen assorted things written on each one) and stick them to my wall right under my light switch. I take a look at that and decide each day what if those I want&#x2F;need to do. The things on those are everything from \u201corganize jewelry\u201d to \u201cmeditate\u201d. It\u2019s satisfying to cross stuff off but it is really messy. So overall there\u2019s a lot of methods and it depends on the task or thing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gemma N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Good question! Look up David Allen\u2019s \u2018getting things done\u2019 method. It\u2019s a game changer. There\u2019s a system called a \u2018tickler\u2019 for keeping track of things to do in the future<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nika F.
