A reliable #Productivity system must track recurring actions.
Partly because we don't want to forget any of our tasks.
But mainly:
🤯You can't think "big picture" if you have "little stuff" tying up your brain's bandwidth.

If you use @RoamResearch like I do, you'll need to build a workflow for recurring tasks.

Besides, I've done the heavy lifting! 😊
This video explains how to build the system. The description includes the links to everything you need to do it. You'll be set in 20 minutes!
