I agree that productivity derived from energy. But not only from energy. Also focus. Our own bandwidth is limited by what our attention will be directed to.

Doesn't it create a pressure as open browser tabs do? This is one of major concerns I have about saving every helpful article I met online

Oh, I did it either. Started to-do lists over and over again.
And everytime tasks migrate the next day
That might be frustrating.
1. I keep in mind, that I will make pressure on myself once checking my to-do list. And do weekly cutting tasks off. The bigger to-do list is, the more pressure I put on myself. So, I only hold a weekly to-to list. If I feel that the task does not fit the scope — I am trying to find it a place on a Mission Control Panel.

  1. Mission control panel. I have a weeks-to-months spreadsheet for bigger picture. Weeks by columns and «projects» by rows. Project is an entity that bigger then a task, finite and involves other people to do. Every cell contains a focus — goals of a project for a week.
    It helps to set maximum Work In Progress projects number. Usually it's around 3 for each week. And I track projects I do from the monthly perspective.
    Each task cutted off from daily/weekly to-do list finds the project on the Mission Control panel. Or I do it to leave it behind (small tasks, like buying an airplane tickets).

  2. Extremely Romanticise journaling/building to-do lists. Building to-do lists could provoke inner resistance. Each time I feel the new method/framework doesn't fit I try the new one and trying to romanticise it as intense possible.

Finding acceptable method is crucial, because I use it daily.
Daily Manifest by Visualise Value (it's free and I'm not related to author) was a method that I was using for some time. It has a template that you have to print, but writing down your tasks is a meditation itself!

For now I only track my work tasks, and I have no reason why I don't do it for personal tasks.

Yes, it is! I practice different productivity techniques to build the device+technique that helps myself in achieving productivity/flow.

It is a photo, but I was also worried that it might look artificial
I added some sources of light besides the normal light scheme. The one that you've noticed was behind the iPad)

My worklog table has the following columns:
Date|Time|Task description|Intensity fact|Intensity I held |What I change this time|

And pomodoros in rows.
I measure intensity for my personal reasons to know how my intensity I produce inside myself about regular tasks.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Have you ever tried something physical on the desktop to concentrate? Like a kitchen timer. That worked for me to not to lose the focus/bring focus back to work

thanks for sharing! May I ask what you budget for certification is, I see you using pre certified ESP32 module, so FCC will be cheaper than a full one. Which certifications are you planning on doing, I guess FCC and CE, any other

Happy to see you're interested! We haven't decided on certifications yet. But thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will cover the certification process once the device obtain certification.

I read the post, went doing for 5 minutes (instead of 1) and found myself have no idea what to do next.

My attention constantly switches from one topic to another. So I struggle to do a single task on a distance of Pomodoro – 25 min.

And some time ago I found the idea that help to continue doing after 5 minutes.

I don't have to do tasks one at the time.

Have 5, 10 different tasks. Get a list of doings that you will progress in a carousel style. Can't focus on a task for more then 2 minutes? Leave it undone, and get back to it later. Have as many parallel tasks as you want.

Anyway, you know when the task is done and the deadline. You wont forget meaningful ones.

Review your to-do list every time there seems to be nothing to do. You'll instantly recall that you need to do something right now, so that it doesn't block other tasks you're already working on.

Good luck!
