Read the book: Getting Things Done.
the reality is that we truly have "multiple" inboxes, and multiple ways to collect things to do.
As said elsewhere, you need a process. Set 2 goals:
1) To review your Todo list twice a day, morning and end of work day
2) To stick with it for 90 days (by which time, it will become a habit)
Trust me, I know the feeling. I use ActionOutline to take all of our meeting notes/action items, etc.
And my own Personal ToDo list. (I have 8 tabs for the 8 core clients). We also have to use Mantis for 2 clients, and Eclipse for 2 clients. Which means I will NEVER have a consolidated list.
After fighting to consolidate... Learning to accept that MY MASTER list is spread out. The only thing I need to review is the high-level. So in GTD words, each of these lists/systems becomes its own project (which it is), and I get to visit/manage them to make it work.
I am not perfect at this, but ACCEPTING this really reduced my stress. And now I even use Google Calendar Tasks for things like Grocery/Lowes lists, because the app links to my phone, and I check it when I go out...
So, along the path to have ONE LIST to rule them all... I learned one process to manage the lists made more sense. Especially when forced to use other peoples "lists"

I would suggest using Asana, it's free for small teams.
I have slowly brought people into it over the last few years and they always are lukewarm to start off with but then when I come back to them a few weeks later it has become a part of their lives and they get it.
Can have multiple workspaces to keep home / work completely apart. Inside that you break it down into multiple projects, and inside that you can break that up with multiple headings. Its basically a todo list app but you can assign stuff for that day or a time in the future, add others in to follow the task, assign the task to others. The great thing about it is that while you get started you can use it just as a simple todo list and then expand out as you become more used to it.

i use a google drive document. one called do. one called done.
It's gotta be a text file so there are no weird limits and copy/paste is easy.
just a text list SORTED BY PRIORITY. Easy/important stuff at the top.
So i can see/edit it on my phone at the grocery store or on my pc when I'm programming/watching tv.
If it's a big enough project, it get's it's own do file.
(my PianoCheetah app, building up a van for camping, building a bbq shack.)
Don't go more than 5 dos deep tho !
Anything somewhat significant that's completed gets written up in done (sorted by date newes stuff at top), and I give myself a reward for bein' awesome.

Hi all,
Some questions:
1. Are you still using older versions of windows? if so... why?
2. Is still needed to upgrade first and then to perform a clean install to get win10 properly licensed?
3. Anyone with a Lenovo laptop that came licensed for windows 10 but with windows 7 installed that has upgraded the OS? how was the experience?
4. Is that true that the occupied space in the HDD is lower than the one used by Windows 7?
Thank you all!

Windows 10, like to stick to the latest OS (even if it isn't great).

I did that in the past on my Dell Optiplex (desktop) which came with Windows 7 (and a license for Windows 8). I always prefer a clean install rather than an upgrade so I'd do it in any case.

I've got a couple of new(ish) Lenovo Thinkpads (E series) but they both came with Windows 10 pre-installed. I've re-installed my .NET one from scratch a couple of times, always been pretty quick and easy. The other one is on Ubuntu.
Joan M wrote: 4. Is that true that the occupied space in the HDD is lower than the one used by Windows 7?
It might be technically true, but you're not going to notice once you've got Visual Studio, Xamarin, Office, Adobe CC, JetBrains tools, SQL Server, etc installed.  My Lenovo's SSD is 512GB, I have about 1GB 60GB of files, all my development applications installed and have about 280GB free.
[Edit] 1GB of file! I wish, it's about 60GB
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

1) Never change a running system, especially not with Mickeysoft's bugware.
2) Who cares?
3) Sorry, no.
4) Probably. It's so busy talking to Redmond that it wastes no time to store anything locally.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Your paranoia is amusing. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

1) Win7. It's fast, does everything I need, doesn't require me to adapt to a pointlessly new interface (they even changed the keyboard shortcuts, the id-10Ts), doesn't need an update a week that in 50% of the cases would brick my machine, doesn't have Ads integrated into system software, is more backward compatible (and I need it for reasons).
2) Clean installs everywhere, on Linux too. Updates break things way too often to be a viable solution.

There are some very good third party shells for win 8 + to get rid of that sh*tty MSFT GUI.
|
|
|
|
|
ClassicShell for example - I have it installed on my work PC because my colleague had to switch constantly between XP and (at the time) experimental Win7 [experimental in the sense that we were experimenting installing it on production machines, which are dedicated pieces of hardware that must run on production lines] and, while I reverted all the settings to win7 default as I got used to it, I still keep some settings tweaked.
Usually I avoid third party shells to keep the machine as light and with as few points of failure as possible. I remember the times of the dashboards for Win95 and the truckloads of trouble they caused...

For 2 main reasons. It's been around much longer so it is more stable and they aren't focusing on keeping it updated.

Precisely. I hated the first times when every day there were updates - I started as a "Good User", keeping it updated. Except that it was a notebook and it bricked itself since it refused to turn off while intalling updates until battery failed and the system died.
Plus a couple of updates that forced me to jump through hoops in order to restore functionality or reinstalling from scratch... Now I reverted to the "Good Ways", aka "I will not install a single update if it doesn't solve a problem I have or adds a functionality I need and even in those cases I will wait at least a week before installing it".

I concur with what den2k88 said.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

1: only on phone (windows 8.1 phone cause the power that be decided not to upgrade my phone...)
2: I did an upgrade, haven't needed to do a clean install yet (mostly cause I'm to lazy  ), everything works so... (but I'm fully aware I'll probably have to do a clean install at some point)
3: nope sorry
4: didn't check but if it does, won't be by much.

The Wookietab came with Win 10 and Android pre-installed as a dual boot: the hardware comes with only 64GB, but Windows plus Android takes "just" 20GB of that, including 5GB Android storage, so Win10 can fit in < 15GB.
But ... start adding VS, LibreOffice, Paintshop Pro, etc., and the space starts to add up.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Griff, what's the WiFi like on the win10 side on the Wookie ? , mine is good on Android and shite on Win10, it doesn't find any networks apart from my main home one - so is useless on the move
