I actually am, by quiet a margin. But if course I’m taking about an actual office, and not a cubical ^^. I just like to separate work and free time. Unfortunately currently I don’t have the possibility and barely get anything done :(

I totally get it. My critique is more about the bosses who want to decide for the employees how they work better.
Exactly why I love remiote work that much. Sitting at home in a room that is exactly the temperture and light level that I like, wearing noise cancelling headphones w/o music is pure bliss.
I mean, not that I am getting any work done either but in theory this is much more efficient :D
Keep a notebook
It won’t help but at least you’ll have fun doodles
helps for complexity in large tasks. Not really with small tasks (since you spend more time making and reading notes than doing the work). Programming is an example where notes can’t save me, I just need to hyperfocus or I won’t get anything done.
Amateur, I can’t even focus in the first place at all 😎
yeah for me it poofs constantly without anyone interrupting
Trello 100% fixed that for me. Also, as someone who NEEDS my little dopamine reward whenever I do a task I found a little trick. If you put the 🎉 (party horn emoji) in the title of a list it blows a bunch of confetti over the screen whenever you drag a task into that list 😁
Ah, Trello.
I can use that to hyper-focus on my tasks. But before I do that, I have to list, prioritize, and organize my tasks. But before that, I should create a layout for my tasks. What statuses should I have. Should I use deadlines?
What was I doing again?
The problem with every organization app.
“It worked for me! Now all my projects are organized and it’s so much easier than when I was keeping everything in my head… After I was able to sit down and focus for a day to import all my data and organize it and set up the program to tailor to my application and now that I go back to it to reorganize my new info every week…”
I just use 6 lists and I grab and move cards along them from left to right. My lists are very simple:
Would be nice to do Need to do Doing today 🎉 Done today Completed in the last 4 weeks To be archived
I only use 2 automation rules. One rule to move new cards to the top of the list I created them in and a second rule to automatically move cards along the last 3 lists depending on how long they’ve been there.
It’s been life changing for me. I don’t get side-tracked anymore cos I can just dump whatever it is into one of the lists on my pc or my phone. It’s also really helpful that I can put a “Due by:” date that gradually changes from yellow to red as the deadline approaches.
I’ve been looking for a better way to track my at home tasks and projects, would you recommend it as highly outside the workplace? I figure a task is a task so it’d probably be fine but wanted to ask.
Edit: typo
Exactly why it didn’t work for me…
ahhhhhhhhh
