Then we have a nice relationship between tasks. Task sequences are implemented as a Relation in Ultimate Tasks, where one is the 'Task before' and one is the 'Task after' field for the sequence.

That means tasks need to have a relation between each other, this modification is fairly mild, so let me walk you through it. If any preceding tasks aren't done, hide the task. The Solutionįind a way to implement sequences and hide the tasks that don't need to be done yet.

I need this to be a string rather than a hierarchy. So the classical 'Parent' relationship in Ultimate Tasks is insufficient, which I use all throughout the Creator Companion The problem is that if I put 8 tasks on my to-do list and 7 are irrelevant, I teach myself to stop looking and I get overwhelmed and even worse, I lose track of some. Task Sequences for Creatorsįor the creators here, a task sequence might be: But it acknowledges that you can't meal prep if you don't have groceries. This leaves out most of the small steps like writing a shopping list and putting the groceries away, which I would sprinkle in.

Task Sequences for EveryoneĮven if your life doesn't have to be granular, you may benefit from implementing sequences for big tasks:

Fold clothes / Iron if you're that type of personĪnd this goes for most things in life, down to taking a shower (Get new clothes, check for towel, put clothes away, turn own shower, dry floor from spillage, wipe down glass, etc) You get the drill.

The full task sequence looks something like this: Washing your clothes isn't just 'throw it in the washer'. If you suffer from executive dysfunction or task initiation, you know the problem.
