How Do You Get Things Done?

One of my projects I’m working on right now is a new productivity/accountability system. I have modeled it after my own method of getting things done and have been using it for forty five days as I built it.

Roughly two weeks ago I invited some friends and members of my forum to use it. None of them use it in the same way I do. Many of them stopped using it because it was too different from how they get things done.

So, I’m curious. How do you get things done? Do you schedule your whole day in Outlook? Do you keep a running Todo list and do what you can? Do you write down three things that MUST get done that day? Do you just meander through the day and do things as you think of them? Something else?

I’d love to read about your system and the rationale for using it. I’ll be giving out a new round of invites soon, and anyone who shares their method/system in the comments will get an invite during that round.

Thanks!
