Daily Minutia
 

I am wondering about best practices for dealing with daily actions.

I have a number of mundane daily or every few day tasks (such as take dog for a walk, floss teeth, do 15 minutes of house cleaning). Right now they are set as repeating flagged items so they show up on my today perspective.

The problem is I would rather not have my today list filled with all sorts of these types of tasks. I'm a believer in only choosing 3-5 must do tasks to flag each day.

Any thoughts on how best to deal with these types of items (that does not involve using a second reminder app.)

Thanks

I don't go as granular as brush teeth, walk dog etc. but I do use a single repeating action to cover my frequent tasks. I then list the frequent items as a note on the action. An example would be my morning check list, rather than having 10 actions, such as:- check email, check calendar, check tickler....etc I just have one action called "Do Morning Checklist" and I list the items required in the note field.

I keep all my routine tasks in a separate folder.

I then have multiple "today" context perspectives:

Today-R: available and due/flagged with focus that excludes routine tasks.
Today+R: available and due/flagged with focus that includes routine tasks.
Routine: available tasks with focus on just routine tasks.

I actually have 2 versions of the above, one for work and one for home and these 6 perspectives are pretty much all I use.
