Not sure? Start with the 1-3-5 rule. It takes five minutes and works on any kind of day.
All twelve methods
Every method, by the problem it fixes.
Start the hard thing
Fit the list into one day
Decide what matters
Protect your time
Get it out of your head
Make it stick
You can use more than one
Most good weeks use two.
Methods stack. A weekly review feeds a daily 1-3-5 list. The big task on that list is your frog, and a Pomodoro round gets you started on it. Pick one method, use it for two weeks, then add a second only if something's still slipping.
Before you pick
Still deciding?
The one you'll still be using next month. If you've quit other systems, start with a small one, like the 1-3-5 rule or eat the frog, and add more only when you need it.
Yes, and they fit together well. A weekly review sets up the week and a daily method like the 1-3-5 rule plans each day. When starting is the hard part, add a focus method like the Pomodoro Technique.
Two weeks. The first few days always feel awkward, so judge it once it's had a fair run.
No. Every one works on paper, and each guide shows you how. An app helps with the parts paper is bad at, like moving unfinished tasks and showing you only today. Each guide ends with how to run it in the planner.
Pick one. Start it today.
Put tomorrow's first task in the planner. The method can grow from there.
