So, those are three planner inserts I use for year-long task management and organization. Then when you are doing your daily planning, you can take tasks from the list for the month and schedule them to get done that month. This prevents the overwhelm that often comes from keeping all your tasks on one list that make it seem like you have an endless to do list that must be completed immediately. Keep monthly projects and any tasks you know are due in a specific month listed on this insert for a foolproof system of capturing tasks and allocating them to specific months of the year. This helps you to remain clear on your priorities without being distracted by tasks that belong to another month. One of the key tenets of my Functional Planning philosophy is to keep your task lists broken down by month so you are only looking at the tasks that are due in the short term. Task Management Insert #3: Monthly Task List ![]() For example, when I sit down to plan my month, I reference this list to ensure I am scheduling in when I will complete each task into my month, and knowing which day I was able to complete the task the prior month helps me to schedule it better for my current month. ![]() This insert creates a system that almost queues up repeated tasks for your monthly planning without you having to remember them each month or go back through your past months planning pages to find repeat items. For additional tracking, instead of simply checking off the box for a month when the item is complete, I like to write in the day of the month I completed it so I have that information for future reference. This insert is great for tracking monthly payments, plus work, chores and habits that we touch on a monthly basis. Task Management Insert #1: Forward Planning Insertįor tasks we do on a monthly basis, using a reoccurring task list like the Yearly Task Planner gives you the ability to list a task that repeats monthly, and then check off when that a task has been completed for that month. I am going to share with you three such time and task management inserts now, and explain what I use each for and how it creates a system for task management while integrating nicely into my overall planning system. Meaning, that by using a specific insert, you have given yourself a system for organizing, prioritizing and focusing in on your essential work. Instead of the common task list, I prefer to use some specific inserts that are in and of themselves systems for time and task management. Prioritization is key when it comes to task management because if we cannot do it all each and every day, it’s important that we know which tasks are the most important so we can take care to manage our time around the completion of essential work. Here the old trope rings true- there is always more to do in a day than we can actually get done- and unfortunately task lists don’t help us prioritize our workload the best. ![]() When it comes to task management, I recognize that task lists are usually the default mode for organization of tasks, but making long lists of things to do is not really the best way to efficiently organize. As it is currently the middle of January, now is the perfect time to lay out known tasks for the year and create systems to manage new tasks efficiently so that no task gets let behind… at least none of the most important tasks. ![]()
