Productivity

Foundations of my current productivity system

1. 70% Bullet Journal (bujo)
2. Getting Things Done (GTD) as explained by David Allen
3. Pomodoro Technique | TeamViz
4. At least 3 short meditation sections throughout the day
5. Kanban in Trello | Inventory of todo, medium/long term planning
6. SimpleNote | short term
7. EverNote | medium/long term, especially for scanned
8. Dropbox | general-purpose filing system for most text

Daily Routine

• Fill in tracking spreadsheets on Google Drive using iPad preferably

Collection

Here are my current Collection (as per the GTD methodology) tools in the order that I process them and in decreasing priority order:

• A small (A6) bujo
• A ring-binded (A4) bujo
• Plain text file as a draft email in Gmail
• Plain text file as a draft email in iCloud
• Plain text file as a draft email in SimpleNote
• voice memos in RecorderPro

Review

• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly
• Annual

Misc

• 5 main checklists/Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
• listen to my tasks via some text to speech app such as SpeakIt!
• I decide to use SimpleNote as my main (80% of the time) plain-text Bujo tool
• I decide to use Dropbox/Tasks for long term storage (for now, as of 2015-04-07)
• SimpleNotes is like a collection/short-term tool, definitely not for long term!
