Do you have a master list of tasks that you pull from each week?

+1. Great minds! 😃 I’ve been doing this same thing as we’ve ramped up building things. Even writing it on a sheet of paper, which goes in the bin at the beginning of the next week.

Sounds like, not only a great business plan, but also a plan that makes your mental health stable and good. If you’re done half week, I bet there are always some stuff that needs a little TLC to work on, or, sometimes not, and a bit of personal TLC and family time is better. This may be an idea for a second book. 😃

That's a great idea. I tend to go off a daily focus list but when the day doesn't go as planned, I feel very unsuccessful even though I may have accomplish a lot. I like the idea of a weekly perspective.

@otaviocc – should be working again. Sorry about that. Had to disable the CDN as I don't have access to AWS to renew it.

is the list on paper, computer, or both?

@kevrodg Computer. I used to use paper and notebooks more, but haven't in a while.

@greghiggins Nope, no master list. I used to log everything in a bug/feature database, but I've found that it's a lost cause because it just grows indefinitely and becomes overwhelming. I pretty much always know what is important, and if I'm off course, customers will tell me.

That's a good point! Do you have a set number of tasks you try to write down and complete every week? Or does it just vary week to week due to needs, etc?

Also, it works great when you work for yourself and not for/with others 😁

fact

@greghiggins No set number of tasks. Just based on what feels right. Usually a small list, 3-5 things.
