Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Saving time with simple Smart Lists

Feel like you’re spending more time organizing your tasks than actually doing them? This simple time-saving tip from dwbrown77 takes advantage of Smart Lists to help sort your tasks with minimal effort:

Many GTD solutions force you to spend more time categorizing etc then I feel is worth it (in many cases). So I have a simple system:

I set up saved searches for my most frequent categories: Calls, visits, buy, email etc.

When I input I always make sure that the appropriate word is incorporated in the phrase.

For example “Call Bob Tomorrow”.

I know that I can go to the saved search “Calls” and will find “Call Bob”. Simple? Yes. Time saving? Yes!
