So, you dont have a task/reminders/calendar app?
I do but it also has like 100 things on it and most of my problems have extremely vague deadlines so I can't put them there. The last time I went through and filtered out no longer relevant issues was a week ago.
Whats an example of a vague deadline problem?
For instance, I'm a college student right now and I need to apply for internships or jobs for the summer, and jobs or colleges or scholarships etc for the future which does not have a clear deadline but needs to be done sooner rather than later. Then many more tasks like this of similar, greater, or lesser importance and I only have time to pick a few of them, to complete around clear tasks with hard deadlines (i.e. homework, exams) which I have no problem managing but take up most of my time and its importance depends heavily on those vague tasks.
How might something vague be made more concrete, time-bound, and actionable, but also limitable? Often tasks or projects expand to fill the time container alloted to them so what could be done to limit that?
I don't know
Thats a problem. You dont have infinite resources and time and capacity to do free shit like job searching.
I don't have infinite resources in general, that's why I'm searching for a job
