Hi, Ev!
It's fantastic to see you're everywhere, just like always! 😄
I hope you're having a blast with the Tanarians!
Send them my regards, especially after my chat with Matt yesterday about their enjoyment of your stunning summer.
Now, let's go back to speedies.
Identifying them as a key element in my productivity system was a game-changer for me, especially since they were starting to drive me crazy.
Handling 100, 150, or even 200 speedies a week can be overwhelming, not because they're complex, but due to their sheer volume.
For managing them, I've found Todoist to be incredibly efficient as it's perfectly designed for this purpose.
The way they've evolved over the years is remarkable, making it easy for users to capture, distill, organize, schedule, and execute tasks quickly and seamlessly, regardless of the device - in my case, whether it's my iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
What makes Todoist stand out is its versatility in terms of approaches, views, and searches, allowing me to handle this heavy workload daily with ease and precision.
I've taken my tagging system a step further by categorizing each speedy, like 'personal admin', 'business admin' (for tasks related to accounting and finances), 'calls', etc.
This helps me group similar tasks and tackle them in dedicated time slots, as per my Sunsama planner.
Your idea of using a 'speedy' supertag is the right one.
If you want to dive deeper like I do, consider these two options:
1. Add a field to the 'speedy' supertag for identifying the speedy type.
2. Create new supertags under the 'speedy' tag for specific speedy types.
Initially, both approaches might seem a bit ambiguous, but I usually lean towards the second option.
It's effective because while the parent tag has common fields, the child tags are more specific.
And, another reason (even more crucial than the first one). If things get more complex, this method remains sustainable, unlike the first, which might eventually require a painful refactoring process.
Let's continue to inspire each other and thanks for sharing your insights!
Cheers!
