    Thank you. Your videos have been an inspiration for me to continue developing and using Workflowy as the main system. It is interesting to see how your changed over the years.

      Thanks for the feedback Martynas! I too enjoy seeing how other people use their WorkFlowy to run their lives.

      @@Cafe655a maybe someday you can do a short video about your projects setup and how you transfer that to next action tasks. When I mirror tasks to separate list I loose the context of what projects they apply to really fast.

      @@martynasmazeika Each of my projects has a prepended tag with the first three letters of the last name of the client. I have a template for each project (I am a painter...painting interior and/or exterior of houses), so when I trigger a new project from the template button, I then go in and find/replace the template name with the first three letters of the homeowners name using the WFx "find/replace" mechanic. So a task inside a new project looks like this: @ros::@paint::clean jobsite #j #SP-5 #w ...and when that gets mirrored into my WILL DO list, that is how I know which task I am working with.

    Great overview, thank you. How do you handle tasks due on a specific day? Do you leave in your calendar and mirror to Not Today if due that week (and then move to Today) or do you leave in calendar ? I’m thinking the former as you then only need to be in the Today node? Thanks

      If there is something due on a specific day, I either put a reminder in my calendar or if it is time specific, I set an iPhone notification to remind me so I don't forget. But for the most part, since I scan my weekly tasks every day, and look at my calendar I tend to just grab them and move them to "today" when the appropriate day arrives.

    I am very interested in creating a daily checklist. I feel is the one thing missing from Workflowy at the moment. Can you guide me in how you create your repeating tasks in your flywheel?

    • @bluebell764

      Or perhaps I could import the daily flywheel and just edit it for my needs?

      @@bluebell764 The general principle for creating a flywheel is to identify a situation where you want to do the same thing repeatedly, and as you are doing, start noting down everything you might want to include in the list as you go through the situation (could be a day, a week, an accounting process, a trip planning/packing list, a project management process, whatever)...then go through that list and organize it as best you can to make it the most efficient and useful...then the each time you go through that same situation, pull up that list and use it to guide you...adjusting and tweaking and improving and deleting as seems appropriate...particularly observing how to fix problems and create better throughput each time...then reset the list to incomplete, and keep on using it. It self-improves each time you use it. Does that help? Feel free to ask more questions.

      @@bluebell764 I use WFx chrome extension with the PowerPack, which I highly recommend WorkFlowy users on Chrome consider.

    Muy inspirador el video. Muchas gracias
    También pienso que usuarios no avanzados, pero entusiasmados con Workflowy, necesitamos videos o Tutoriales de uso, para gestionar clientes, proyectos y tareas.
    Soy abogado y utilizo workflowy para muchas más cosas que una simple lista de tareas.
    Por ejemplo: 1. el estudio y estrategia de un caso lo hago en workflowy. 2. Los alegatos los estructuro e incluso desarrollo en workflowy.
    Pero, la gestión, sistema de trabajo (sea GTD u otras) y uso de etiquetas, la extensión que mencionas, espejos, backlinks y títulos sería más fácil de desarrollar con Tutoriales o incluso cursos por CZcams que permite el traductor en español.
    Nuevamente gracias y saludos desde mi hermoso país: Chile

      I use WFx's PowerPack "CreateYear" mechanic. It lets you create a calendar for any year. If you use Workflowy you should consider using WFx and the PowerPack...it puts jetpacks on Workflowy processing. chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wfx/jbehgpdjkcconnaagjhddddfdajbpfhi
