I've been using something similar to this, I think. I have a whiteboard up on my wall that's split into 'long term' 'calendar' 'every day' and 'today'. Long term includes the wishful-thinking type stuff which I move into 'today' at some point, 'calendar' is stuff that needs to be done at or by a specific time, 'every day' is stuff I should be doing all the time like cleaning and mood management. And I tend to re-do the whole board once every couple of weeks or so.

I'm still not sure if I'm using the right categories but this one seems like it has a decent chance of working for me.

I would totally do it on a white board if I had one, but no such luck.

I don't know how much whiteboards cost around where you are, but buying one is one of the best decisions I've ever made in terms of self-organisation. I'm actually considering buying a second one at the moment because I have too much stuff I'd like to track.

I dunno either. I have a lot of things stretching my thin funds out right now but I'll think about whether I can fit that. (Alternatively, I wonder how much white board paint costs. I have a board ...)
