Does anybody here have any advice or thoughts on the “two list” approach?
I can’t remember who it suggested it and I’m likely conflating different anecdotes—but the gist was you have two lists: a traditional to-do list which has tasks and actions; and a second list that I’ve seen described as a “to think” list—which might contain a series of problems or questions that are important but for which you are unable to progress.
In my case my “to think” or “problems” list would be as long as my arm, my to-do list would be filled obvious stuff: with whatever is the immediate next step on a project for a client, grocery lists, paying bills, booking tickets to a show etc. But on average shorter than the other list.
I’m not sure how to convert individual items from the the longer non-actionable list, into actionable things to do.
