But, eventually, I stopped to save the trees and not look like a fool.Īt this point, I realized that my to-do list methodology was all wrong. I concluded that the dopamine rush when I did this was huge compared to checking off a task with a pen on paper. When I finished the task written on the Post-It, I crumpled it and threw it on the ground. Once I started working as an engineer, I started experimenting with to-do lists to handle a higher workload, more varied tasks, and customer-specific requirements in addition to my own.ĭuring one experiment, my cubicle was cloaked in enough Post-It Notes to be a fire hazard. However, it took years of experimentation to settle on a winning to-do list.Īs a college student, my At-A-Glance daily planner was with me everywhere but at the bars. We left our engineering jobs that we had for the eight years prior.Ĭreating and managing winning to-do lists were paramount in being able to take this leap and run a business that sustains our travel lifestyle. So, here we go!Īlex and I set out on a path to engineer our best life in March 2018. We’ll create it together, and learn how to manage your to-do list for better, optimized outcomes.

However, the goal of this article is to help you transform your current to-do list.
