| Do I Recopy the Undone Task? |
With a digital calendar, like the Google Calendar I use strictly for scheduling, the ease of rescheduling is a great advantage.
But with a paper planner, if I don't do something on Wednesday and have to move it to Friday, I have to recopy it and think about when and how I'll get it done. Perhaps I need to drop or delegate the item.
The extra work of recopying the to do item helps me to make decisions and to reinforce my memory of having to do the task.
Also, rewriting does a few other things. In addition to forced decision-making, it motivates me to do the item so that I don't need to recopy it again and again. It also reinforces my areas of slackiness.
(Is slackiness a word? You know which things you put off, right? You know that because you are always rescheduling them!)
For example, write "pay bills (see Jan. 9th)" on Jan. 12th's entry.
After all, just because I can do extra work doesn't mean I'll waste my time on doing everything extra if I don't have to do it.
So go ahead and embrace the extra work of a paper planner. It's still going to be more pleasant planning than doing the task itself. I *almost* promise.

Before you recopy a task, consider whether it is worth doing.

Welcome Back! I dislike having to rewrite tasks. Definitely makes me work harder to get it done so I don’t have to transfer to the next day.
ReplyDeleteI handwrite tasks, too. Anything I put digitally disappears from my mind for some reason. On the plus side, I don't get addicted to apps on my phone, etc., so it's not all bad.
ReplyDeleteIn my planner, I cross things off when they are done and use an arrow through them if I'm transferring them to a new day or week. If I'm recopying something multiple times, it gives me a chance to stop and think about whether I really want to do it. Then I can move it to a higher priority, cross it off, or put it on a "maybe someday" list. Seeing things written out also helps me be more realistic about the number of things I'm trying to do in a given day or week. Once I see the written list, it is also easier for me to prioritize tasks.
It really awesome article. Thanks for sharing it really helpful.
ReplyDeleteIf it is something that has to get done, I only rewrite it once I am on a new page (like if I am doing daily pages) other than that it stays on the day before staring at me with accusation of being left undone. Luckily, this bugs me that I haven't crossed it off and I will get it done so I don't have to look at the dot that been left unchecked.
