How I ship "stuff"

As a disclaimer, I would like to mention that I have a very shabby process of getting things done. There could be a golden standard out there worth emulating; but nevertheless, this (rather easy) system works for me, and I continue to follow this—

1. Most of the work in completing the to-dos lies in preparing my own mindset. I have a standard 9-to-5 job, and this works the best for me to plan things out. The end of the working week acts as a temporal marker in my mind to rest, sprint, and reasses my time and energy.
2. I start jotting down my to-dos for that week. As I continue to write notes during the day, and work, or even on my side quests, I continue to see the list of reminders (as a neat sidebar on the left on my Roam Research app which I use for writing notes)
3. All these Weekly TODOs are added to the [[Weekly Goals]] page.
4. As and when I complete my notes, I check the boxes.
5. In most occassions, not all tasks are completed, so I review the debt collected from the past week, and see if I need to drop some, or carry them forward for the next week

The weekly goals always lingers as a pinned sidebar while I continue to journal weekly. As I continue with my day and work, I continue to check the boxes on the things I shipped on a weekly basis

As I continue to populate the [[Weekly Goals]] page, I can always query this page on Roam Research, and look at the year in retrospect whenever I want to

This allows me to start clean at the start of every working week. Usually most TO-DO lists become unbearable to see after the debt gets accumulated to large laundry list. I also don’t lose any of what I’ve completed (or not completed), as it gets added to the [[Weekly Goals]] page, and I can review them together at the end of the month, at the end of the quarter, or the year, to see my shipping in retrospect.

I’d like to keep things lite. It’s simple and it works.
