First Thing

bhuana says:
Simple tip i use to make sure i don't miss time windows for getting things done.

I basically get most of my things done either at home, or at work, so i divide my tasks up into two locations.

However sometimes i find myself arriving for work, still tired and realise that something i meant to do at home before i left for work remains undone. Doh! So....

I've created two new smart lists called "first thing @ home" and "first thing @ work"

These are defined by tasks due today, with location either home or work and tagged with the tag "first-thing"

This means when i've looking at "first thing @ home" list on my Android RTM app in the morning i can see what i need to do before rushing out of the house; and when i arrive at work i can simply look at the "first thing @ work" list before anything else (on PC browser) and make sure i do these things first.

Of course i could allocate times for each task but i'd be inundated with reminders and adding the "first-thing" tag is really quick and easy to do (thanks to smart add) !
