Smoking is harmful. Having permanent tasks may be fatiguing, but if that constitutes being harmful it would seem life has become too good (which is surprising given the current harmful pandemic!)
If I fucked up and the task is important or I do want to track it over a longer period, I'll either copy it into Notion, or stick it into my notebook directly, where it lives forever.
At the end of the day, I’d put the laptop in my backpack, and the sticky notes would get crumpled, so I would have to write new ones for the following day. It didn’t work as well, though, because I’d occasionally lose sticky notes, and forget what I did yesterday.
Right now I just archive tasks and projects that have been completed or cancelled, but I'm thinking about archiving all tasks and projects I haven't worked on for at least a quarter. That way I can essentially forget about them but still be able to locate them if I really need them.
