I decided to give Bullet Journaling a try. Recently I've been using
Todoist to track my to-do list and it worked fine for the last couple
of years, but recently I've been cheating too much and pushing back
on my list of tasks. It's too easy to ignore something on the list
and just reschedule it for later.
The last time this happened was around 2007. I was using org-mode to
track my projects and then too I started to cheat my way into not
doing what needed to be done. My reaction at the time was to switch
to a paper organizer from FranklinCovey. It worked perfectly. The
mental impact of committing something to paper prevented me from
cheating - it left very visible evidence.
I've been hearing about Bullet Journals frequently in the last weeks.
This last week someone presented a talk about it at work. So let me
give it a try.
My first temptation was to use an ipad with a stylus instead of paper
notebook and pen. I gave up on the ipad because again it would be too
easy to cheat. Paper it is.
I still have some questions about how this method works specially
tracking multiple long-term projects with sparse tasks.
