Can you give some examples of your 100 daily actions? I’m struggling to understand how you’re scheduling so many things, like I’m sure I complete 100 actions in a day but most are going to be things like “brush my teeth” or “clean up the dinner dishes”, which I personally wouldn’t schedule.


It's definitely detailed. Here are a few from today:

Call PG&E about medical baseline allowance

Check SM Court website re: Conservancy ruling

Expect next invoice from [redacted]

Order refill of [medication]

Book service for [vehicle]

Various financial transfers associated with agreements.

Tons of project related tasks for work I can't share

etc, etc.


Sounds like you need an assistant haha. I’m glad your system is working though.


Just in case it wasn’t obvious, there are a bunch of “Expect X to have happened by now” type tasks in there.

These are basically dead man’s switches to remind me to check on someone else’s progress vs a timeline - ala @patio11’s “dangerous professional”


GTD (Getting Things Done) has a similar concept called "Waiting for".


Thanks, it’s grown organically over the 10+ years I’ve used it.

I’ve also used a variety of EAs over the years, and in my experience reliability is highly variable. The great ones are amazing.
