Ep 15 – Is it Harder to Fix Your Car Than Your Task Management System?

You want to make improvements to your system of task management. You want to intervene at just the right place to have a positive overall effect, but you don’t know where to start. You already understand that you use a system to manage your tasks from the moments of creation to the point where they are completed. Some people say that making changes is easy, but you’re not so sure. The system you use is full of idiosyncrasies – those places where you do things your way…different from anyone else. How do you use this knowledge to make the right improvements? Can you make things worse by tinkering in the wrong place? Is it anything like trying to fix a car or an appliance where the wrong intervention can make things go terribly wrong? In this solo episode, I’ll be sharing my thoughts about this problem and where we need to take ourselves so that the confusion disappears. This is a public episode.
