The world famous ToDo list.

I have a whiteboard on the wall when I look up and towards my right.
It's right there in my face. It works so much better than having a ToDo app somewhere, which I don't always remember to open.

So the whiteboard is like a goal post for me.
I get a tremendous rush when ticking something off!

Smaller more fine grained lists are written on paper.
You see, I don't like having pieces of paper lying around, so I try to go through the paper list as quickly as possible.

And coffee!

Having a physical whiteboard is a great way to stick to a goal -- people, perceive the information better when it's visualized and works as a reminder 💯

"I get a tremendous rush when ticking something off!"

I have the same feeling, especially when I can add tomato-emojis to the completed task as a spent time counter 🤭
