A markdown file that I sync between phone and PC and view in the android app “Markor”, with the following format:
2021 January
- [ ] Start an exercise habit
- [ ] Meditate 30min 6 times
- [ ] Figure out python asyncio
- [ ] Buy new table
2020 December
- [X] Just survive 2020
- [ ] Start an exercise habit
Key points:
- I add as many months as I care to plan ahead for
- Of course a headers like “2021” or “2021 January-March” are possible as well
- The lists contain (optional) checkboxes, so I can see what worked and what didn’t
- If I care enough, I carry over failed items into the next month
- Sometimes I write additional paragraphs to detail my plans or break down why a plan failed
- I add memorable photos to get a sense of progress, continuity and gratitude when I scroll through the file
