Foundations of my current productivity system
- 70% Bullet Journal (bujo)
- Getting Things Done (GTD) as explained by David Allen
- Pomodoro Technique | TeamViz
- At least 3 short meditation sections throughout the day
- Kanban in Trello | Inventory of todo, medium/long term planning
- SimpleNote | short term
- EverNote | medium/long term, especially for scanned
- 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!
