She may have had enough of all this productivity hacking! Either that, or I was just really tired. It seemed to be my inner rebel rearing her ugly head. It seemed that as soon as I committed to doing a task this week, that was it: I wouldn’t do it. Maybe I’m wrong, but in any case, it made the form less appealing for me. I didn’t feel it mattered so much within the first three tasks, but I was doing tasks that emerged first and didn’t feel this was in the spirit of the form. I don’t think I did the tasks in order any day this week. I knew I would have no idea how much time I actually spent without referring to the form before starting a task.

I didn’t feel free to just work without it as I have with other paper approaches because of the time tracking issue. It got better toward the end of the week, but at first, it was really annoying to realize that I’d left the form on a different floor of the house. How The Emergent Task Planner Made Me Crazy This Week Feeling free to take notes on it made it much more appealing. No, I don’t think that’s the point of the extra space, but I was shying away from the form because of perfectionism. I didn’t do this until later in the week, but I really enjoyed brainstorming on the extra lines provided. My usual approach is to live in lala land, imagining I can “get caught up” in one day. Reminded me to be realistic. I really wasn’t far off in terms of estimating how much time my tasks would take, but that was AFTER I’d written them down.The Emergent Task Planner (ETP) definitely helped me narrow down my list of want to and must do’s. Got me thinking about my MITs again. I’ve gotten away from thinking about the most important tasks to accomplish each day.How The Emergent Task Planner Saved My Sanity This Week Scroll to the bottom of last week’s post for details. I pre-planned 3 tasks and added more as they “emerged.” I also estimated how much time the tasks would take and scheduled some of the pre-planned tasks. This week I tested whether David Seah’s Emergent Task Planner could help me get more done.

You can also buy all three variations in a single pack for US$14.This is Week 34 of a Year of Living Productively Includes front and reverse sides for duplex (double-sided) printing if you want to try assembling a notebook.

All the designs as 2-UP (two per sheet) PDFs, for convenient printing in bulk.

All the PDFs in color, with the line thicknesses and font weights adjusted to print well on color printers.

The black and white versions are designed to take advantage of the higher resolution offered by laser printers to look as sharp as possible.

All the black and white PDFs you can download above.Version 5T0 is a 5-task listing, with tracking bubbles.Version 3T3 handles three main tasks + three additional tasks, with tracking bubbles.

Version 0T7 is a simple 7 task listing, with no tracking bubbles.I’ve also made a few variations of the tracking area based on feedback from the volunteer ETP testers.

The US “Mini” version is half of a US Letter sheet (5.5″ x 8.5″), while the international version is A5.īecause of the smaller size, I’ve had to reduce the number of items that are tracked and modify the layout. These are half-sized versions of the Emergent Task Planner (ETP).
