At the moment, I am the kind of person who completes tasks when the mood strikes me, meaning that I can be either really productive or really unproductive. This is a problem when meeting deadlines as I find it difficult to plan out when I'm going to do something - instead I just wait until I feel like it. Unfortunately, sometimes I just don't feel like it at all! This is really useful and I hope that I can use it to help organise myself.

Anything that is optional and may take months to complete and years to even begin goes into the outline. The main benefit is that I quit worrying that I'll forget some aspect of a big project. It also helps me group projects to tackle as logical groups. I’ve started using a “outline” format for my wish list to help with the overwelm issue.

It's not that other things can't get done in between those three things if logical (which usually ends up happening) but when forced to pick three tasks from the endless list of tasks, the things that are most important or have other tasks hinging on their completion, float to the top, even if you didn't realize at first that they were more urgent than the others.

The amount of work I had to do was overwhelming and creating lists was the only thing that got me through it. I have stopped doing that but your article reminded me of it's value. I would write out a list of everything I would like to get done. Then add value and importance of each of those. If it wasn't that important I would cross it off the list. It's important to create a list but also to important take time to sit back and think about whether you are going in the right direction. Many people get caught in the trap of getting things done without wondering whether they are doing the right things or not. Great article, Alex Hey Luciano,
