The single text file a professor at Brown uses for his to-do list - Business Insider

Jeff Huang is an assistant professor in computer science at Brown University. Before joining Brown, he analyzed search behavior at Microsoft Research, Google, Yahoo, and Bing, and cofounded World Blender, a Techstars-backed company that made geolocation mobile games.

So I tried various forms of to-do lists, task trackers, and productivity apps. They were all discouraging because the things to do kept getting longer, and there were too many interrelated things like past meeting notes, calendar appointments, idea lists, and lab notebooks, which were all on different systems.I gave up and started just tracking in a single text file and have been using it as my main productivity system for 12 years now.

My current file was created almost seven years ago, when I started my current job. It serves as a research notebook, and as meeting minutes. I have 37,773 handwritten lines in one file now, documenting everything I have done as a professor and nearly every person I have met with, along with notes about what we discussed or ideas I had.
