How to never lose a event, without making your calendar impossible to read!

Wanna make a difference between the Someday/Maybe tasks that are rarely achievable ? (learning zulu, travelling around the world in 80 days, …) and the tasks that you haven’t decide to do or not in the future (you’ve heard that will be an art exposition you’d like to go in two months, but you don’t even know if you’ll be in town in that week)

Here’s my personal advice.

I have created a List called “Future” that let me difference between Someday/Maybe from Future/I would.

I just add before the name of the task the date in format yymmdd !(for example, for the 19 January 2010 there is a exhibition I might want to see… I just add 100119 Exhibition blabla).This way, erasing the old tasks, you have always the first tasks the next events/things that you have that day!

This allow to have your calendar free for the things you HAVE to do, from the things you maybe want to do on that day, letting focusing you on the important things.
