The Way I Work

This post describes my daily workflow process.

Currently, this is more of an ideal than a full-on reality. I have only partially implemented the strategies here. Perhaps my ToDo list is too great at this time to make this truly effective. So, I'm circling right around to the point: DO WORK! Don't spend so much time managing it. But, if you don't spend enough time managing your life, your life will manage you.

  • GMail
  • Google Calendar (that also shows Google Tasks)
  • A ToDo list (as a Google Doc)
  • A joint ToDo list with my wife (also as a Google Doc)

  • GTD Folders: Inbox, ToDo, Awaiting, Calendar, and Supporting Project Folders

On a daily basis, I review the ToDo list.

I should be chunking out specific tasks in a week to place them on the Calendar. Scheduling the time for a specific task is great, but it is most important to actually do the work when scheduled. Build good habits in time-keeping, work-estimates, and accomplishing.

For Gmail, I use some of the lab features:

Leave a tip

Tips go directly to a Bitcoin SV address I control — peer to peer, no platform in between. A few thousand satoshis is a fraction of a cent; it's the gesture that counts.

From any BSV wallet

Scan the QR code with your wallet's camera, or copy the address.

With HandCash or any paymail wallet

Paymail is an email-style address for Bitcoin wallets. Send any amount to afomi@handcash.io

First time using Bitcoin? Yours Wallet is an open-source browser extension wallet, and HandCash is an easy mobile wallet — either takes a minute to set up.
