ticktick assign multiple due dates for task

Binary: You either make the deadline or never and this opportunity ceases forever.None (default): no consequence for never doing this.But paying my taxes is only a cost (preventing negative outcomes) versus the ASAP of getting my project finished (positive consequences). I guess this is captured implicitly in “ASAP” commitment. To me there’s a difference between mowing the law which has a linear cost of looking worse each day for not being cut and failing to pay my taxes, which has festeringly worse consequences the longer I put it off (pay a fine, end up in jail, etc.). Deadline: I’m still thinking about this one.S3: not doing this will have bad consequences or lots of regret. Severity: S1: if I don’t do this nothing will happen.Deep work should be uninterrupted and be 3 hours long. 3: lunchtime, 4: afternoon, 5: after work, 6: nighttime” Most personal things are done around the house or on the couch at night. But perhaps some can be done while taking a walk. Location (where to do the task): Home, Desk, Car, Backyard.Will I do this task eventually? Pay a bill - yes. Commitment: ASAP, Eventually, Someday Maybe.

So here is my tagging system to help me stack: But “Atomic Habits” says the best way to get stuff done is to stack it. Then I may choose to add tags with metadata, which I haven’t figured out if this is useful yet. I have like 5 epics right now at work that will span several quarters. This helps me organize my work deliverables. I nest epics under “Work > #Epic1, #Epic2”, etc. It’s assumed that unless something is a task, it’s a project.

It’s just whether this Indy ended outcome has multiple steps or not that might be done over a few days, whereas a task is probably done in one sitting.

A task isn’t necessarily short and a project isn’t necessarily long.

Like “apply for credit card1” and “apply for credit card 2” are both personal finance tasks. I would say that as much as things can be independent, keep them tasks.

The challenge is if I should have things as projects or as individual tasks.

Use iOS shortcuts to make this really easy. But it can still be clarified with details. But a separate inbox entry may be “pay phone bill by sitting down at my computer at 10pm”. These three subtasks need to be understood. The tasks are 1) buy card from CVS, 2) put in envelope with stamp, 3) drop in mailbox.

If the task was “send Birthday card”, that’s really an intended outcome and is a small project.

Task grooming process: Groom the inbox every night and identify the intended outcome and next action.

Objective: a squishy, feel-good purpose statement.

Key Result: high level, long term accomplishment.

Epic: an intended outcome with multiple projects.

Project: an intended outcome with multiple tasks.

Depends on the task and how detailed I want to be. Or I use the TickTick today widget and upload it to today directly. I want to capture the idea, not open TickTick and get distracted by other ideas. I put this on my Home Screen for instant access and to avoid distraction. I have an iOS shortcut that lets me quickly add a TickTick task to my inbox. I don’t see them as incongruent, but one as an ideation organization approach and the other as a relentless focus. I think GTD is great for me because it helps me get ideas out of my head and Essentialism is a better pursuit to make sure I’m not caught up in minutia. Inspired by this Reddit post, I’ve tried thinking how I want apply the principles of GTD and these other paradigms. These productivity paradigms influence this post. I’ve recently read “Atomic Habits”, “Deep Work”, “The Power of Habit”, “Getting Things Done”, “Essentialism” and “Effortless”.
