My problem with productivity systems

That they are so _fiddly_.<br><br>Every day I end up thinking “what am I going to do today?” Now I know that any system I have for this must be written down in one of my note-taking apps or in my task list-app or somewhere else, but where? I could check all my apps, but what if I forget to check one? I could use my phone, but I might not have the right app open. It’s a minor inconvenience but it’s the exact kind of minor inconvenience that makes me decide “it’s too much hassle today, I will do _nothing_”. <br><br>A day like that is ok.<br><br>Three of them are less ok. <br><br>That’s why I have given up on productivity systems and I just have a small sticky note on my laptop. Yes, it’s not searchable and yes, it takes me a while to rewrite, but I never have any problems to remember where it is.
