Summary

Why we abandon systems is because they aren't working for us, and that's okay. Our brains are chaotic, filled with unnecessary information, making task management difficult. A to do list can help by plucking out relevant tasks from our brain junk, but reviewing the list regularly is crucial. Different people work in different ways, so no one app will work for everyone; we need to find a system that works for us. Trying out different apps or creating our own system is key, paying attention to what organizational strategies make sense and which amount to clutter. Ultimately, finding a system that works requires patience, persistence, and experimentation until we find something that sticks.
