##todo-dashboards #tabs

  • 1) inboxes — in MSOutlook and gmail are two disconnected dashboards, mostly for tasks given by other people
  • 2) browser tabs – each represents a task, but this breeds an over-reliance on blogging sites.
  • gmail draft
  • google calendar
  • (to be deleted) MSOutlook tasks — GTD author suggested MSOutlook tasks as the ultimate, but I find it useful only for a subset of my tasks.
  • — Now some all-time favorites that depend on no software, which are always over-complicated and less reliable
  • 0.txt was my primary dashboard for a few years
    • 😦 not for office
    • πŸ™‚ printable
    • πŸ™‚ high density with multiple items
    • πŸ™‚ version history via git
    • Can use any decent text editor (not notepad or Winword)
  • paper notice board —
    • πŸ™‚ highest visibility, good for a short span up to 2H.
    • πŸ™‚ extremely simple and robust, similar to the space pen (pencil)
    • πŸ™‚ Can be combined with other notice boards.

Conclusion — no perfect combination
