Keeping my main to-do list in my notebook is certainly not as functional as having it digitally (because then it would always be with me and I’d never lose it,) but I have found over time that if its in my notebook it stays more top of mind. And I use a hybrid bullet journal process for taking notes in my notebook. I have a lot of meetings with people (internal Dragon Army team members and external connections,) and I just have a hard time using a digital device when trying to connect with someone. I use an actual, physical notebook for my main to-do list and for note-taking in meetings. I also stick tasks in Google Tasks if I only have my phone with me, and later I’ll drop them into my notebook. Google Tasks became a staple of my process when it was recently integrated into Gmail (my email tool of choice.) I put longer term, less serious tasks there, and ones that I know I’ll need to access digitally. My current process is a combination of Google Tasks, Google Calendar Reminders, Evernote, and a physical notebook. Because, as we all know, time is the one thing we all have the same amount of and how we use that time will determine how successful we will be. I love talking about (and searching for) the most optimal to-do and note-taking processes, and I often change it up quite frequently in search for the ultimate solution. I’m a real nerd when it comes to optimizing my “systems” and finding efficiency in how I manage my time.
