The question: What do I do with everything on today's list when today is over?

My answer is that every line on the day gets a decision, and then I delete the day itself. A line I finished is done, and I delete it. A line I didn't get to is deferred, and I move it to the day I'll do it. A line I've decided not to do at all is denied, and I delete that too. A line someone else can carry is delegated, and it stays on my list, because I'm still the one accountable for it. I only delete the day once nothing is left under it. That way I can be present and focused on the day I'm in.

The question: When I reach a day, how do I make sure I can act on what's written without having to hunt for additional details?

My answer is that I write every line in Dailys for the person who will read it: me, on that day, after I've forgotten the context I had when I wrote it. The line says what to do. Whatever I'll need in order to do it is nested under the line or linked inside it: the recipe, the workout, the page where the real thing lives. So when I reach the day, I read the line and start. I don't open anything else to work out what I meant, and I can trust a line I wrote months ago as much as one I wrote last night.

The question: How does something I need in November reach me in November?

My answer is that my Dailys list reminds me, but not with a notification. I write the thing nested under the day I want to meet it, and when I reach that day, it's there. Dailys is a stack of days, one line per day, and only the days with something written on them exist. Today sits at the top. Every other day is nested under a line called Future, in order, out as far as I've written. The list never pushes anything at me. I go and read the day and start on what's there. In between, I don't have to hold it in my head. Writing it down in Dailys is what allows me to let it go and trust that I'll meet it on the day I chose.
