What am I doing wrong here? I feel like I need to figure out a more solid way to handle priority levels, scheduling, and projects, and would welcome any advice! So I briefly tried making a “This Week” project and making subheading for “today”and “later” but that felt kind of like reinventing the wheel. I made a filter for “Today’s List” which is P1 (today & overdue) and but I’d love to be able to drag them around so I can work from top down, and see everything just once. The Today view is ok but I think I’d prefer not assigning a strict due date for things because I’m finding that when I don’t get to something on the scheduled day I feel guilty that’s it’s overdue and don’t reschedule it. What I really feel like I need is a place to go where I can look at everything I need to do today and rearrange the tasks in the order I want to do them. I’m trying to use priority labels so that things that should be done today/ASAP are P1, things for tomorrow are P2. I feel like things get kind of hidden in those project folders since I’m not always looking there. I’m putting my projects under “projects” and putting tasks that correspond under them, but I usually work by task, not by project since I have multiple projects going on at once along with other tasks and everything has different urgency, so I’m not usually using that project section as much. I also have a label for things “in progress” and “frog” because I’m doing “eat the frog”/knocking out my most important task out first thing in the morning. Right now I have labels for the two people I assist and myself which helps me because if I have a catch up call with them I can just click on their name and see everything at once. I assist two senior people at the company but also need to block off time to pursue my own projects. My work is a mix of one-off tasks, tasks that require a few steps/follow up, and bigger projects. I feel like what I really need is to just explain my workload and see if someone can tell me how to structure my dashboard accordingly. I keep changing strategies and adding integrations and I’m sure just making it more complicated than it needs to be. I’ve been reading the articles on the site but I feel like my brain just starts breaking trying to figure out how I should actually apply it to my work. I’m horrible about letting things slip through the cracks and it’s really affecting my job performance so I feel like figuring this out is my last hope. Hi! I’m new to todoist I feel like it could be so helpful for me, but I have ADHD and am struggling to find the best way to structure it to help me stay organized and see everything at once.
