The critical hack for me was with the tag view. (I used to use day-of-the-week tags, but #today lets tasks rollover if I don’t get to them.) Then, each night or morning, I add the tag #today to make a plan for the day. When I’m in planning mode, I add the tag #soon to anything that needs to be done in the next week or two. And I don’t cross off the good things I read/hear/watch - I just move them to a “loved” list so I’ll remember them later. Lists are shareable, so you can share your whole “business” list with your team, or just share a particular project list.

Notes (on art, activists, tech, writing, packing, yoga, whatever).

Fun (what to see, watch, listen to, read, make, learn, buy, etc).

Personal (side projects, chores, reviews).

Business (active clients/products, holding/cold, dream, checklists).

The first two are more short-term lists the second two are longer-term.

It’s great in combination with simpler, less overwhelming to-do apps like Momentum or TeuxDeux, but I’ve recently figured out how to use it alone.

The deep nesting feels like all the hidden folds of your brain. Workflowy uses a really cool collapsible interface to make lists of lists of lists, so it’s the perfect place to organize small random-but-helpful notes (travel packlists, movie backlists, web launch checklists) plus longer good-to-review notes from lectures or books. How I use Workflowy to get things done I’ve been using Workflowy for a couple years, but with a couple tweaks in the last couple months it’s become my sole GTD app.
