I just picked up a large Moleskine Cahier for a journal. But I want it to be for daily task management as well. So, I draw a box for “Today” wherever I left off in the journal. I use that box in the same way you use your “Today” Circa page: MIT’s, calendar, jot space, etc. Then, I journal away after the box, knowing that I’ll start a new box tomorrow morning.

I like the idea of keeping my actions linked to my thoughts for the purpose of reflection.

By listing just what has to happen today, you get that done. Then, if there’s time left over and I’m feeling productive, I can flip over to long list and knock off one or two more things.

I have an extension in mind. I have been toying with Backpack for my productivity. What I have in mind is creating a "Today Page" that helps me focus exclusively on the MIT's, calendar items, etc. for the day without the distraction of the rest of my lists and their actions further down the road. Since this isn't built into Backpack, I have in mind using the Backpack API to pull my calendar items for the day and maybe two or three next actions (per context?). I'd print it with some margin on the left and bottom for notes like you are doing in the analog form. Of course, this is all in theory and I haven't put cursor to TextMate yet, but it seems that doing something relatively static and read-only for the day would be pretty simple. I'll add it to my list of things to explore. I'm thinking http://today.jamiephelps.com.</p> Patrick, I think the Today Page is a great idea. I have an extension in mind.
