I found myself thinking about the topics discussed in this article a lot last week because of all of the syllabi I was receiving that prompted me to add things like like "add Cog Psych items to ToDo list" to my ToDo list...

As this article says, it works! In addition to sorting and scheduling, I label things based on context, e.g., things for which I need to be in Purnell, things to do on my computer, etc.

I am also a big proponent of subdividing tasks for three reasons: it's easier to stop and resume work, it's easier to accurately estimate how much effort tasks require, and it's very satisfying to check off completed tasks.
