You'd be better off using your bad attitude as motivation to sooner find a better job

So trick the brain?

My ex-husband would file his w-4 so they’d take out the max amount and get a bigger refund 🙄 I told him that this was essentially just an interest free loan to the government. Why not just open a high yield savings account, calculate the percentage taken out for taxes at the max and then put the difference into the account.

I just use the reminders app on my phone. Set the time and whatever info I need and it’ll pop up and alert me. I won’t clear it until I finish it. That way, if I forget to do it or I’m busy when it comes up, it’ll always be on my Home Screen until I mark it as done. You can share them with anyone too.

Wouln't management notice this and assume you're actually leaving? I don't know if I could keep up thanking people and wrapping up projects for years on end.

acreom does exactly what you described and more. You can have your notes there together with tasks that can be scheduled for any time interval or just a single point in time (it also supports repeating tasks) using either calendar or by just typing it out in note using natural language (e.g. do yoga every other day at 7am). You can then group them by note they are in, labels or date. It also has daily note and a review feature where it shows all the overdue tasks plus the tasks for today on top of the daily note.

You think very highly of my boss

I do this. Some of the items are overdue by 400+ weeks... someday I'll get to them.

Sound like a manager in 4x my wage.

I will only increase my productivity, when my greedy bosses increase my wages.

Because you’re a great person. You do what you promise and people respect you. Because your are skillful and valuable to everyone around you. Because people trust you and want you to succeed and because you want them to succeed.

Why do I want my productivity to improve?

Work in legal, can confirm everyone I know that treats their calendar like a to-do list ends up relying on support staff to remind them what /actually/ needs to be done. I calendar datetime events and use a reminder app for everything else broken up by priority (high priority - reminder pops up around 8:00 AM when I get to the office and start my day, mid-priority pops up between 11 AM and 2 PM, low priority pops up after 3 PM).

>695 in my case.

As a fellow Microsoft to-do lover ...I got chills reading this. Haha!

Saved it for later

That’s not a reflection on yhe GTD system. That’s like saying there’s no sense staying hydrated cause sometimes water is used it for water boarding,

I found the idea is actually kind of the opposite. It’s about making use of times when you have energy to prioritize and create flow in your life so you can get by with as little stress as possible on days when you have low energy.

There’s also a phenomenal video that shows you exactly how to use the system with GQueues. Gqueues absolutely runs my life and I couldn’t recommend it higher. GTD and Gqueues

I’m a huge proponent of GQueues

I use my Calender for My bills and finances I get paid weekly so I have my bills broken down for the weekly cost so by the end of the month I've got it all ready and normally a bit more as some months with run into 5 weeks

Neither did I until I was nearing the limit on storage and desperately looking for cheap/free options of getting around it outside of attempting to delete 1,000's of e-mails by hand.

Didn't know that was an option.. off to it I go

This does work but I use eg a magazine and open the window as much as possible.

this is the best thing that happened to me this week. thank you.
