Within this list I have categories such as Daily, Weekly-Mondays; Weekly-Fridays; Monthly on the 15th, etc. I even created a category for protocols for both of my roles at work. This list is a resort for my memory, because it allows it to take a permanent vacation. It is like an advanced checklist, but a checklist for all those things I want to make sure I am regularly evaluating. I check two areas of my list manager daily: my today view (which shows everything due that day in every context, including my waiting-for’s) and my routines list. The rest I will visit in my weekly review. And yes–the trust is there, it has not failed me once.
