Color Note to Get Things Done

Color Note is probably the most used app on my mobile. I use it for my to-do lists, shopping lists and as a notepad to jot things down on the fly.

I've read a bit about David Allen's Getting Things Done, which is a powerful tool to manage information, commitments and communication, put them into priorities and help one to spend time on the most important tasks. But it's too complicated for me, I don't like to spend much time just to brainstorm the lists. I'm the kind of "just do it" person because once I lose steam I'd be too lazy to do anything.

So what I do is to have a daily to-do list and separate lists for home-improvement projects, sewing projects, etc. On my daily to-do list there are things that need to be done on that day and others which can be delayed (they'd fall into the list for the next day if not done yet). Anytime I think of something, I'd put it down on one of the lists or just start another one.

Same thing with the shopping lists: I have the usual grocery shopping list, another one for asia shop, one for the chemist's shop, etc.

For appointments and important tasks I use Jorte/Google Calendar.

So far this system works for me.
