This week Hannah & Megan rail against the almighty To-Do list to suggest a kinder alternative for neurodivergent brains - a checklist. Where to-do lists can get immediately overwhelming, a checklist breaks down the to-do list into actionable content (which definitely gets your to-do list DONE!).

Things we cover include:

1. Evaluate for Future You

  • it's not just about what you need to do right now, but what will benefit future you;
  • it's ok not to have a repeatable process for Future You RIGHT NOW - odds are, Future You will appreciate your getting ish done, not avoiding the thing but setting up a process that doesn't actually make sense to you;
  • Future You needs micro-tasks.

2. A To-Do List vs Task Checklist

  • speaking of micro tasks - usually to-do lists aren't micro!
  • there is no "you broke down the task too far;"
  • There are things you just can't finish in a single setting.

Tangents this episode include:
- Hannah's complete freeze on a coffee table lamp;
- Megan's freeze on the "medium-cro" despite her strengths in evaluating the macro and the micro;
- a shout-out to friend of the pod Asia Rau of @thestrategicamp.
