I was feeling stuck on my to do list. Too long & overwhelming.

So I stopped tracking to dos & made a "To Done" google form where I log things I did & how long it took. The submission response text is: "YAY! YOU DID IT!"

I expected the event log of tasks completed to be useful for analyzing how I spend my time. I did *not* expect to be so motivated by seeing "YAY! YOU DID IT!" when I submit a new To Done. But I am. Massive productivity increase. Utterly ridiculous.

Whatever works?

@testobsessed for me it is ripping up the post-it notes and throwing the pieces in the trash - a little confetti celebration at something done. 🎊

Of course, getting my mind to stop spending cycles remembering something is also a great use of post-its. But tearing them up when done is far more satisfying.
