Centralize your to-dos on the Dashboard
If you use the Getting Things Done approach, you already know how much clearer work becomes when tasks are written down and prioritized. Embedding your lists directly on the Dashboard keeps those next actions visible without switching apps, which helps maintain focus and momentum.
