A very tangible tip that would be helpful for [[My personal productivity and time management]].
[[Ali Abdaal]] argues that the number one mistake he sees people making with their productivity is that individuals will not give projects a clear status indicator.
In the video, Ali shows his Things3 app. He has a 🛑 or 🟢 emoji at the end of each project name to showcase status.
Additionally, each of his projects only show the next action, he doesn’t have a laundry list of tasks waiting in each project. There’s something to be said about hiding all the other stuff. See [[The importance of next action]] for a deeper dive into this point.
