TIL a simple trick for my messy weekly spreads

My weekly pages used to get so cluttered with tasks that I'd avoid looking at them after Tuesday. I started putting a tiny dot next to any task that could be done in under five minutes, and it made me actually do them right away instead of moving them. Do you have any other small tricks that help you clear your daily list faster?

Wow, I used to ignore those quick tasks too.

What made you finally start doing them?

...and yeah it's wild how something that small can change your whole week, right? @tyler_fox41 I started doing them because I got tired of looking at a list that felt impossible... those little dots just made me stop overthinking and just do the dang thing. I have this thing where I keep a separate sticky note for stuff that takes less than two minutes, and I put it right on my phone case so I see it all day. It's like a little trap for lazy thoughts because once you do one quick task you kind of want to do another... it's not perfect but it helps me not dread my own schedule.
