In this episode, Alexis shares the unlikely origin story of her task management system, starting with a ballpoint pen on the back of her left hand in college and ending with the simple framework she's used (and adapted) across paper, spreadsheets and five different apps over two decades.

You'll hear why her early "system" wasn't really a system at all, how reading Getting Things Done shifted everything, and the simple setup she still uses today inside TickTick.

(PS, TickTick is Alexis' all time favorite task app; you can get it for free here.
