The 80/20 todo list

In the spirit of getting stuff done in the face of boundless tasks shrouded by the vagueness that comes with autonomy. I introduce to you the 80/20 todo list.

The formula is:

todo.txt // Yes a text file. Nothing fancy. You're using it to get shit done. Not move boxes around a screen.

Big Task As Scope Of To Do List

// Examples include:
// Writing This Blog Post
// A Group of Components
// Module That Talks to a Service
// A Plan for an Event

Definable part of big task that matters {
    20 {
        [x] Task that actually matter to move things along.
        [ ] It's good to plan ahead and be decisive on what to deal with.
    }
    80 {
        [ ] Give a long winded background on how this came to be.
        [ ] Get frustrated at writing a simple todo list that then balloons into some behemoth of wtf i'm looking at.
        [ ] Add sparkles and colors to this list.
    }
    Done {
        [x] No BS. Done tasks here for added emphasis.
        [x] Published.
    }
}

// Tasks in the 80s can be moved into the 20s and vice versa.
// Things aren't set in stone. But they should have good reason for being there. 

Another definable section of big task {
     20 {
        [x] Write a short example of another sub task to give a visual hint on whats next.
     }
     80 {
        [] Flesh it out.
     }
}

DONE.

Get things done with an organized, minimalist set up. It's a tool, don't abuse it and be caught up in analysis paralysis.
