I try keep it dead simple a list of “activities” with a circle i can fill in. I aim to do about half the things on the list found the most important part is not giving it a specific order. I then decide if i should move things to the next day that aren’t done. If u wanna try it start by limiting it to only a few set simple tasks and always have 1 fun thing per day no matter how small. Then u can gameify what percentage tasks u do before u do the fun thing. Think the most important thing is when u feel its not working dont abandon it just scale it back to 1 task per day hell even “make bed” works as long as u write it down before doing it and fill in the box after. Its like training urself to a dopamine hit.
Ive tried many systems given up on most still occasionally use logseq tho its got a lot of promise with its future development. Have written some code to automate tasks like putting dates in pulling assessment dates off the uni website automatically. Its strangely addictive but its also excellent at distracting you.
I just add in those small tasks i keep a general overview in logseq then take a task as this week/months problem. I even make a task about how to split that task across the period. Basically i make it bunch of tiny little tasks i can approach one at a time. That’s why not having an order is important i can do one task then be jump to something totally different and still be achieving something. My system still isnt perfect tho revisiting things routinely and revisiting is what im trying to implement but nothing ive tried so far seems to be working. Best system ive come up with so far is scheduling things in logseq but thats got a lot of work to do.

How do you manage semi-long term and long term tasks that need to be broken up into many smaller tasks and from time to time be revisited?
