How the Someday/Maybe List Manager works
- Add anything you might want to do but are not doing now, with a review date.
- Keep it strictly separate from your active list. A someday item mixed into today's tasks is either guilt or a distraction.
- At review, do one of three things: promote it, defer it again, or delete it. Items deferred repeatedly should be deleted.
FAQ
Why keep a someday list at all?
Because ideas resurface whether or not you record them, and an unrecorded idea interrupts at the worst moment. Writing it down with a review date is what lets you stop thinking about it now.
What if an item keeps getting deferred?
Delete it. Three deferrals is a clear answer: it is not something you are going to do. Keeping it makes every future review longer and slightly more dispiriting.
How is this different from a to-do list?
A to-do list is commitments; a someday list is possibilities. Mixing them makes the to-do list feel impossible and the possibilities feel like failures, which is why the separation is the whole point.
