Hi everyone!

It's getting to be that back-to-school time again, and, being a high school student myself, I'd like to share my RTM setup.

In high school, I pretty much go to every class every day. That means that deadlines come hard and fast, especially when dealing with 6 classes, not to mention the various chores and day-to-day tasks to be done. Also, my sleep is also very important, so time estimates are a must to know how long my work is going to take.

Through trial and error, I've personally found that having a unified "Today" list works best. It's only one list that has to be referred to, and once it's complete, you know you're done for today.

My lists are:
Inbox
Daily
Personal
School
Today [status:incomplete AND dueBefore:Tomorrow]
Missing [due:never OR NOT timeEstimate:">0"]
Sent

The way it works is very simple. During the day, I note down anything that needs to be done. When I get home, I input everything straight into the Inbox, ideally classifying as "Personal" or "School," giving a time estimate, and a due date.

But sometimes I just want to note everything down first, and then go into the specifics later. That's what the "Missing" smart list is for.

Anything that doesn't have a due date, or a time estimate will show up there, which I'll then fill in the missing attribute. (Anything not in a list will still be in the inbox, so I won't miss that)

Lastly, the "Daily" list is for anything recurring. I personally have daily reminders to exercise, make my bed, lotion (I have dry legs xD), and to do some form of chores.

This setup is admittedly rather sparse. It has no fancy contexts like GTD, or tags like other setups, but that's because I'm a STUDENT. I've no need for such complexity.

Well, that's my setup (and my first post as well :D), hope you enjoyed it / will use it / will at least find it useful! :D
