I have a routine that might be helpful. During my weekly review at the beginning of the week I flag all the tasks I need/want to get done that week. Then each day I open my flagged perspective and assign a duration of 5 min to each task I want to get done that day. I then open my today perspective which shows flagged items with a duration of 5 min and that is the list I work from for the rest of the day. Next day, I do the same thing, open flagged and set the duration of the tasks I need to get done to 5 min.

If I finish everything, which is highly unlikely, then I just go back to the flagged list and set some more 5 min tasks. Also, whenever I process my inbox, I'll flag any tasks for completion during this week, and if any new action must be done today I just give it a duration of 5 min.

This routine of course will only work if you don't use durations for their intended purpose, I don't. John
