Wed, 15 Oct 2008 06:11:13 +0000 http://thesimpleme.com/?p=629#comment-103 I really like this. 5 items seems manageable, though even now I'm wondering if it's enough. I'm having issues with time management now that I'm freelancing. I think I'm terrified people will think I'm slacking. However, I think I'll try your technique. If anything the house might be neater and I might have a better sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. Thanks!

To effectively accomplish all 5 of your daily todo's with any regularity (thus satisfaction) takes a willingness to embrace the small wins – breaking down more involved tasks into more granular task <i>lists</i> that you can tackle one step at a time. (i.e. Empty Recycling, Empty Compost, Install New Lightbulbs, etc...)

So what happens if you don't do all five things every day? Do you have to add it to the next day's list or?
