I feel like a ridiculously simple creature sometimes. All of my tasks for today were very short, so I get to move a lot of tickets to the "Done" column. This makes me feel far more pleased with myself than is remotely rational.

@mneme I get so much satisfaction from moving tickets to done I find myself created tickets for even small tasks! It helps me get organized too.

@solanaceae @freemo My team uses JIRA and something approximating Kanban. So my tickets go: Selected For Work->In Development->In Validation->Ready To Release->Done. But I also use the "Getting Things Done" system (from a book by the same name - which I've not actually read), which I track with an app called Nirvana. I'm naturally disorganised, so unless I'm very strict with myself things rapidly unravel!

@mneme
I'm always on the lookout for a good to-do app (todoist is my top choice right now). I'll check out nirvana.

@freemo @mneme I can't stand smartphones for many reasons. I have no system. Having no system is a terrible system. My life is a (literal) pile of dusty scraps of paper and indecipherable scrawlings.

@solanaceae
Try getting a paper planner with a to-do section maybe?
