Paper people: How do you manage recurring tasks?
Matt Wood | Dec 13 2006
Those of you who use a mostly paper system, how do you manage recurring tasks? I'm thinking more menial stuff like changing your furnace filter, watering plants, et al, that you might need to do once a week, every month, etc. I've been using kGTD lately and really appreciate the way it distinguishes between tasks that recur after a certain number of days no matter what, and one that resets a certain number of days after you last completed it. How do you manage something like this on paper, besides (the horror!) remembering to repeatedly write them down? 14 Comments

I have a reminder/tickler card...Submitted by mdl on December 14, 2006 - 12:46pm.
I have a reminder/tickler card I review every day. Some of the items are daily habits I want to develop, such as flossing and running. Others are things that happen once a week or once a month, like paying certain bills. These have dates or days of the week next to them. I find that if I review this list once a day, it's sufficient to remind me of recurring items. » POSTED IN:
