The Bright Method Podcast: Realistic Time Management and Productivity for Working Women & Working Moms

32. How to Capture To-Do's in a Realistic Way


Listen Later

I do NOT break out my calendar every time I get an idea of something I need/want to do and find the perfect home for it in there. That's just not realistic for me – or, likely, you. 

In this episode, I walk through how I personally capture to-dos when they pop into my brain—whether I’m sitting at my desk, juggling kids, driving in the car, or even lying in bed—and how I make sure those to-dos don’t just live on scraps of paper and in my Notes app forever.

I’ll also share:

  • Why I don’t immediately put every task into my digital calendar

  • What “bridging” means and why it’s a core part of the Bright Method system

  • My favorite tools (including the imperfect magic of Siri) for capturing tasks on the go

  • A strategy to stop late-night logistics from keeping you awake

  • The difference between capturing a task and actually bringing it to life

We all live in the real world. This episode helps you find a capturing system that matches how your life actually works—and ensures that important tasks don’t fall through the cracks.
