I was a to-do lister and it was driving me crazy. I had a main to do list, that was prioritized, then also a daily to do list, then my notes of more to-dos to add to the lists. I was spending a lot of time just managing the lists. It was a burdern, and even looking at the lists made me exhausted. I started using iCal, and the to do list feature (in Panther) was so-so, and it kinda forced me to split into a psuedo to-done. Calendering more items, using the to-list as a general list, but now i still have 15 stickies at my desk, and various to-do lists for various projects. I am still struggling with the scheduleing and to-do listing within projects, but I am more at ease with the overall situation. I will try to further employ the ideas embodied on this site. I also need to get better about toggling between the day/week/month view on the calendar - that's a major obstacle to getting to a zen "To-Done" place - I like to see the monthly view, but need to live in the daily view more often if I want to move the true to-do list into the calendar. thanks for the site, -J I really like this idea of splitting the to do list into the calendar.

I also need to get better about toggling between the day/week/month view on the calendar – that’s a major obstacle to getting to a zen “To-Done” place – I like to see the monthly view, but need to live in the daily view more often if I want to move the true to-do list into the calendar.

I also know that there are times I want to sit with "open time" and just do whatever. Maybe it's surf the net and find sites/blogs like this one for example. Scheduling every minute of your life can also be a problem. There is such a thing as overscheduling. I also track my time, and have become at times quite obessive about it.

What I do is block out time for things in the 'Estimated' calendar group (say in a gray or other color to indicate clearly it is estimated). When I actually get there, I convert those actual times (whether changed moved or removed) into the appropriate normal calendar group. BTW, tried shift-new calendar in Panther and it's non-existent. I think this must have been a Tiger-based improvement in iCal. Another reason to move on to Tiger. :-) I’ve experimented with a system kinda like this — except the planned time is created in a different calendar all together, named “Estimated”.
