The Sunday List

Without fail, sometime every Sunday this year a list has come pouring out, filling a notecard with current and future projects.

My Sunday List is a form of David Allen’s Brain Dump, supercharged by the gift that keeps on giving: my Singing Brook Day. Freed from the temptation, support, and convenience of my phone and computer, I quickly start thinking about every project I’m currently working on. The card and Flair Pen come out, and I’m off.

Once out of my brain, the projects can be dealt with more easily, and it’s a lot easier to get them out of my brain on these Sundays, when my attention is at its best.

It’s just one more gift of a screen sabbath, because I enter Mondays ready to work and excited about my projects.
