Q: Which apps do you use to manage your to-dos? A: I also use sticky notes for to-do management.
-
I think digitalâs characteristics of âyou can write as much as you wantâ and âyou canât see whatâs off the screenâ are counterproductive for task management.
-
To-dos that are never started accumulate and become filled with garbage.
-
There should be a cap on the amount.
-
It is important that the list be kept up to date.
-
By fitting task management into the framework of the âsticky note and KJ method,â the number of tasks that can be run concurrently is naturally limited to about 100.
-
My personal ability to execute becomes more of a problem than my ability to manage the task management system.
- If I were in a position to manage tasks for more than one person, it might be a different story.
-
On the other hand, time- and GPS-triggered reminder functions are in favor of digital.

PS
- There is a big difference between Task Management by yourself and managing tasks involving other people.
- Nothing gets done unless you act.â v.s. âItâs all about how you can make sure that a lot gets done while you do nothing.â
- Maybe we should separate the two as they are very different.
