Past simple

I love, love, love, love this app called Wunderlist.

I use it to store all of my to dos, and I'll show you how I organize it

into all these lists of my big list and then just a list for today.

Basically, my system was inspired by the book Getting Things Done by David Allen.

I read that book, I think, two years ago so I revamped my to do list system

But since then, I've kind of tailored it to what I want

Let me just give you a tour of how it works.

you see that there are all these lists and you can actually create folders of lists,

On the top, I have Projects, and these are just the current projects

that are going on in my life that I want to focus on.

where you can see an overview of what to focus on in your life.

For most things, when it comes to my mind and I'm like, "Oh, I have to do this thing,"

where I put all my tasks that are pretty general, that don't fit into a specific category.

And then, every day, I will refresh this list, this TODAY list.

I'll move everything that needs to be done tomorrow into that TODAY list.

TODAY is what I focus on daily and, as I cross things off,

Moving on, I have a whole folder for Lavendaire.

I have to create, whether they're videos, graphics, and blog posts.

Things like that, I'll throw into the CREATE list.

to create them, I throw them into the TODAY list.

After that I have a list for START A BUSINESS.

redesigning my website, rebranding my art, so that's another one.

The next list is the Workbook + Mastermind, so things that I have to do related to that

reaching out to people and things like that.

And then I have a LEARN list where I keep links of classes that I want to take

and things related to classes that I've taken in the past, things that I want to remember.

Moving on, I have a list for HOME and a folder for Going Out.

of the Getting Things Done method is to separate your tasks by location.

If you have things that you need to do at home, create a separate list for home.

And when you have things to do when you're out, like errands or shopping,

whatever it is, then create those in separate lists as well so that

when you're in one place, you batch all the to dos you need to do in that one spot.

So you see I have the HOME list, and then under Going Out, I have Calls

that I have to make, Errands that I have to make, and also my Shopping List.

Another thing that I've recently started doing in my Shop List is subcategorize

I have a makeup subcategory, I have groceries.

And then everything that I don't put in any subcategory are just things

and groceries are very specific, like when I'm at the supermarket

And Agendas is the place where I keep things that I need to talk to people about.

Things I need to bring up to this person or I want to catch up with this friend,

because they recently gave me a gift, so I have to remember things like that.

Under that, I have a folder for my Bucket Lists.

a list of the Books I've Read, my Reading List of books that I want to read,

my Watch List (things that I want to watch on TV, Netflix, or movies),

and my Adventure Places (places that I want to go).

by categories like LA, OC, ROAD TRIPS, JAPAN, and even animal-related places to go.

The last two lists are things that I don't look at often.

Foods that I want to try cooking and songs that I love to sing,

just in case, you know, I go karaoke and I forget what songs I can sing.

The last folder I'm gonna go over is called Later.

or I have this thing that I want to do but it's not urgent.

That's something that I cannot focus on right now.

I decided that I'm going to shift that for later while I spend this time
