This is a decent list of some of the the mechanical or operative issues with todo lists, yet I find it valuable to also consider the person doing the things.

This is because many symptoms that we see in our productivity, actulally have their root cause inside of us.

Some related questions I can think of right now are:

1. When are you most productive each day or week?

2. Which environment is supportive for each task?

3. Are there any feelings or emotions that arise with certain tasks?

4. Which tasks have dependencies on other people? How are the relationships with those people?

5. Are you noticing particular resistance or motivation with certain tasks?

6. How is your breathing, internal dialogue, and overall self-management?
