How to use the worksheet
Check consequences first, then make the start smaller
2. Choose one real must-do task
Ask what has a specific consequence today: a deadline, an appointment or another person who cannot proceed. A strong feeling alone does not make a task a must.
3. Describe a starting step
Instead of just writing ‘term paper’, write something like ‘open the document and note the first heading’. The entry should describe an action you can carry out.
4. Give parked items a date
Decide when you will review the remaining tasks. Then you do not have to reject them again every time you look at the list today.

Common questions
How many tasks belong in the must category?
Just one if possible. Here, must means that not doing it has a specific consequence today or very soon. Two fields are available in case there really are two fixed commitments.
What does intentionally parked mean?
The task is not forgotten, but it is not repeatedly reassessed today either. A fixed review point keeps it reliably outside the current selection.
Are my entries saved?
No. Entries stay only in the page that is currently open. Copy or print your selection before closing the page.
