Use these task list indicators to monitor your progress when completing tasks. Sets of icons include FranklinCovey, Bullet Journal, Mike Rohde, and my own icons.
2. ADVANTAGES OF TRACKING
TASKS
Tasks that have been acted upon are still visible, permitting you to track the
evolution of a task from initially added to a list to eventually deleted, delegated, or
canceled.
By adding status indicators to tasks, you can track the progress of each task.
You can view a completed list of tasks and feel satisfied at a job well done.
Additionally, you can use task lists to review categories of tasks in order to monitor
and improve performance.
3. BULLET JOURNAL
From the BulletJournal website:
"The Bullet Journal is a
customizable and forgiving
organization system. It can be your
to-do list, sketchbook, notebook, and
diary, but most likely, it will be all of
the above. It will teach you to do
more with less."
4. FRANKLINCOVEY
FranklinCovey is a productivity
company focused on performance
improvement.
According to the company's website,
"We help organizations achieve
results that require a change in
human behavior."
Co-founded by Stephen Covey,
much of the content is based on
Covey's book, The 7 Habits of
Highly Effective People."
5. SKETCHNOTE WORKBOOK
Mike Rohde, author
In the Sketchnote Workbook, Mike
Rohde walks readers through
specific ways to enhance visual
notes and organization.
6. UNKNOWN SOURCE
I recently came across this set of
indicators, but was unable to
relocate the source for this post.
However, I wanted to include it
because it is slightly different than
those included thus far.
The small circles remind me of the
achievement tests I had to take in
school and of the satisfaction of
filling in each circle completely with
my #2 pencil.
7. DOUGLASGPRATT.COM TASKS
As I have previously written in a post
on my DIY planner, I dedicate one
section of my weekly planning pages
to tasks.
My set of indicators is modified from
the FranklinCovey indicator list.
8. DOUGLASGPRATT.COM NOTES
In a separate section of my weekly planning
pages, I also have space for notes from
meetings, observations, and other interesting
tidbits. When taking notes from various
meetings, I usually use some sort of bullets to
record each agenda item. If an action item is
assigned to me - or I assign it to myself - I use
the status icons below to ensure that it stands
out from the routine agenda items.
I also use this set of icons when making notes
on handouts or other documents. In these
situations, I usually create a task list on the
first page of the document.
