Paper vs electronic task management

22 November 2021 | Comments [0] »

I made the switch from paper to electronic task management many years ago. As I blogged about last year, I created a Daily Task Management Trello board that was working really for me. But then I started creeping back toward paper and pen

Worth repeating: Bingo anniversary

23 March 2015 | Comments [0] »

Back in 2011, I created a Bingo board to hep me get non-urgent tasks done on a regular basis. I blogged about it four or five times and today have selected one of the most useful of those posts to repeat to spread the word about the value of building fun into your task list.

Getting a handle on task management

27 February 2013 | Comments [3] »

I’m a bit obsessed with trying to find a great way to stay on top of my tasks. I find that when I’m a task-management groove, life is good. But when a system stops working for me and I get into task-management limbo, I feel out of control and tense.

Juggling task-management systems

I know that somewhere around here I have a list—actually I think it’s more than one list—of potential blog post subjects.

Bingo update

5 June 2012 | Comments [2] »

Last year, I created a bingo board that turned out to be a powerful motivator for me to accomplish tasks that are important to do regularly, but aren’t urgent (so weren’t getting done regularly). For me, that’s stuff like social media posts, blogging, following up with clients, past and present, tending to my website, stuff like that.

Bingo works for me!

1 February 2012 | Comments [0] »

I wouldn’t be writing this (or any) blog post today if it weren’t for To-Do List Bingo. At the end of the day today, I took a look at my bingo board and covered the tasks that I had already done.

New Organizing Guide (about bingo!) now available

28 September 2011 | Comments [1] »

I am so enthusiastic about the concept of To-Do List Bingo that I created an Organizing Guide, called Making Tasks Fun with To-Do List Bingo about it. It expands on the blog post I wrote about the bingo concept when I first tried it. Included in the the guide are more about the concept, more detailed instructions on how to create a board, the types of tasks that are great for To-Do List Bingo and the rules I’ve set up for my own personal bingo playing.

Spreading the gospel of bingo

22 August 2011 | Comments [2] »

I wrote almost a month ago about how much I love the concept of using a bingo card to motivate me to do tasks that are important to do regularly but don’t have deadlines.

Bingo!

27 July 2011 | Comments [14] »

When I saw Jacquelyn Kittredge’s e-bakery blog post about her social media bingo card I got really excited. I love the idea of turning those “I should” daily tasks (like keeping up with your social media) into a fun game.
