Unrelatedly, does anyone remember the name of the pen and paper task management system that Leise uses, that involves just writing everything down with check boxes-- I think the name has a focus in it, but I don't think it is omni focus.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know the answer to your question, Sophia, but I was just wondering--what task management systems do you guys use? Paper, electronic, PC, phone, what?

I switch it up a lot, but I am better with paper things somehow. I think the act of righting jogs my memory in a particular way.

Because books.
I use a paper datebook, and lots of scraps of paper with lists on them. Nothing else works for me. I tried Google calendar and then forgot to ever look at it.

I have a stupid complicated system using paper (to do lists and calendars), Googletasks, Google calendar, Omnifocus (on my phone, tablet, and laptop) iCal, and sticky notes. And the occasional back of an envelope, but I try to avoid that. Needs rethinking but I do not have time for that.

I tell you, I spent 3 weeks in Albania in 2001, and that was in my head the whole damn time.

-t that looks right to, but when I read about it, that one seems much more complicated. This one is sort of- write down everything, draw a line, write down more stuff after the line, do stuff.

Punishingly Intricate
How is that not just making a list of everything you need to do?
I've been using Evernote a lot more lately -- so I can separate tasks by topic. It works somewhat well if I can remember to record the tasks as they arise.

I can't remember-- that's why I wish I knew the name so I could look it up. There was something about moving items under the line at a certain time?

One of my friends was just saying he'd taken up that bullet journal method and was loving it. Seemed too complicated to me. I've tried a few online methods, but generally just go back to old pen and paper lists. Usually separate notebooks for work and life, and when a list gets mostly done or messy looking, start a new page with the undone things and any new things I can come up with...and when a notebook gets too scruffy looking, the fun of buying a new notebook!
