I started doing this for my work tasks, and my anxiety around work has been reduced dramatically. Rather than having a to do list that goes on forever, I’m forced to find time on my calendar for specific tasks. That means that when I’m NOT working on that task, I know it’s ok because I have time dedicated to it later. It also means that other people can see I’m busy during certain times, which has cut down on meetings taking up my entire day.
I saw someone else say they have adhd and this won’t work for them. I do, too, and it has made a gigantic difference in how I do work. It’s different for different people :)

Reply to LPT: Use your calendar as your to-do list. Assigning dedicated time to tasks increases the likelyhood of you acting upon it. by human_marketer
