A rewiring of what was important and what I was doing that didn't need to be done any longer. What I got from having no task list was a clean slate. I remembered what I could and then decided for the rest…well, what's the worst thing that could happen? I have to apologize for the delay? I scramble to get something done at the last minute? It's where I keep birthdays (sorry in advance if I miss yours this year!) and personal to-dos. I have speaking engagements already booked for the fall, and all the items I needed to do leading up to it were on the calendar. My list had tasks all the way up through a year. I'm not perfect, and I have my moments too.īy Monday morning, I realized that deleting that task list was the way back to sanity. On that Friday, due to the previous six weeks of 100mph, deleting my task list, and a call with Gusto that was 1:45 minutes long, I was literally on my knees sobbing. I worked on projects that were new to the company that involved more deep focus time to be creative and strategic. My calendar was filled with meetings and coaching calls, even though everything not mission-critical or direct $$$ was removed or postponed. I had the excellent, fortunate challenge of more work than I could handle. That day was a struggle for me on top of six weeks of being over-capacity. It seemed easier than learning a new app just for a month. However, once our company moves entirely to ClickUp* in February, I'll be transferring everything to that platform. I only used it for my personal tasks, since our company tasks are all in Asana.

I'm still using it because now I know that as long as I don't create a new type of list, it can't be deleted. That's what I get from using a small task app and not one that is established. Looking online, there were questions from other users who had done this with no response from the company. I literally gasped out loud and frantically for two minutes tried to find it. On December 19th at 9:58 AM, I deleted my entire task list in GTasks Pro with one click. Would you rather listen instead? Click here for the 3-minute audio recording.
