This is also handy for jobs that need you to log headhours spent on different businesses, like a consultant. Build out the days calendar as a record of what work was done when to easily log hours at the end of the day or week

Sorry I back mine up on external sd as I go along so this didn't apply to me. But def do so before uninstalling.

As a college student, having a visible reminder of the assignments I have and when they are due is super helpful for me. It also just feels good to erase them from the board once they are completed.

I used "no reply" as it got all the circulars.

If your running out of spaces it's prob because the account is linked to Google photos. Uninstall Google photos and you can still access all your images from the file - it's a pain but worth it to not have to pay/constantly delete stuff. *Android user.

I have tried doing that, it doesn't work for me because my to do list is not a plan for execution, i.e. I can't always set a time for stuff.
I did however start noting the estimated time for tasks on my list, because it invites to immediate planning, and exposes if something on my list is not a task but really a series of tasks or perhaps even a project really.
It also have the added benefit with giving perspective to those things not gotten done, because I can often honestly say where in the last three days did I ever really have two continous hours to do that? so I don't beat myself over the head with it.

Oh gosh no don’t do that. I thought in the context of work.

As someone who works in IT, I was literally rolling my eyes while thinking “What could possibly go wrong?”.

I've literally never had it happen to a port other than the power charge port in my PSP, which was dicky when I got it, and a piece of paper in between the battery and the port fixed that

r/getmotivated is so fucking cynical. I understand that people are going there for motivation but every other comment is just “AcKsHulLlLyYyY….”

Ugh, what a dreadful suggestion.
You're asking me to delete email from deceased loved ones, photos of family members and vacation trips, poetry from friends, legal notices about retirement accounts, the name of that great park I visited on vacation, my aunt's cherry chocolate cake recipe...
No. Just no. This is the worst LPT I've ever seen.

That's an incredibly dangerous game to play. "Yes Man" Jim Carrey could have ended much more quickly and brutally, and following some LPTs without checking the comments would've done it.

I basically run my whole life out of Asana now. Not promoting, just fell into that one. Different Boards for Pets, Chores, Gift Ideas, Project Organization, Things to watch, things to order, things to research etc. but then get to have it all on calendar to try and figure out how the logistics of it all.
