# Task Management Pain Points – The Overachiever - Host: [macsparky.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/macsparky.com/) - Saved: February 11, 2016 (2016-02-12T03:06:01Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/18e4e3072972/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/18e4e3072972.json ## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words) If you are facing a task list that has hundreds of entries every day, you’re doing it wrong. I think the most common cause of this overload is our technology. Back when I used to write my task list every day longhand in a Franklin Planner, I never wrote more than 20 tasks in a single day. I think it was something about the act of using pencil and paper that my brain just accepted the lunacy of overloading myself. However with computers, there is a certain amount of abstraction and that can work against us. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [Siri Commands on Apple TV](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/80e8181f3593/) (macsparky.com, November 9, 2015) - [Thumbs Up for Duet Display](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/99cc0c077d62/) (macsparky.com, December 5, 2015) - [Interact: Better iOS Contact Management](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/bd0453b26257/) (macsparky.com, January 14, 2016) - [Art Channel for Apple TV](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a64f2558c3b4/) (macsparky.com, March 3, 2016) - [Killing the Email Action Folder](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2c357162be4f/) (macsparky.com, April 13, 2016) ## Saved the same week - [How to organize notes with folders in Notes.app for Mac](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5dcd0384d6f6/) (thesweetsetup.com, February 11, 2016) - [Outsource Your Email - But Keep Your Boss Happy](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/24c43da2a3fc/) (logicmonitor.com, February 11, 2016) - [New – Access Resources in a VPC from Your Lambda Functions](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/59ef0c094683/) (aws.amazon.com, February 11, 2016) - [Netflix finishes its massive migration to the Amazon cloud](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/016b7a995e4c/) (arstechnica.com, February 11, 2016) - [The Leica Q](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0d187ef6277f/) (craigmod.com, February 12, 2016) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://macsparky.com/blog/2016/2/task-management-pain-points-the-overachiever
