Simon: Sounds like a good addition to the system. Certainly brings one closer to the GTD model. My other favorite is to try to handle things only once… pick up a piece of paper, decide what you’ll do with it, and do it. Rather than fostering piles. If only I operated that way a bit more often…

Kristi,
I do the same and have two other rules I do (well most of the time!!), both of which come from GTD.
1. any interruption is dealt with there and then if it can be done in 2 minutes, else it’s filed away on a second list.
2. Once week do some housekeeping on the daily list, the interrupt list, and weekly list and come up with a new list for the coming week.

Lewis: I absolutely agree! Even non-productivity types can benefit from knowing at the end of the day that you’ve made progress on the things most important to you.

Kristi, great tips! I’m a big to-do list fan. There’s an emotional rush that comes from seeing a completed to-do list.
