Getting calendars and to-do lists organized so you have everything at your fingertips, anywhere, can seem like a big job. But there's a way, and nomadic illustrator Magoz has figured it out.

If you follow his point-by-point method, you can work anywhere. Or play anywhere while keeping tabs on your projects. Here's a start:

My Productivity System. How I Use a Calendar and a To-Do List to Stay Organised—by Magoz

Every day, we have to complete lots of tasks. And since it’s the beginning of the year, many of us have set up some goals we want to achieve. In most cases, nobody has taught us how to stay organized and we ended up finding our own solutions.

We trust our overloaded brains will remember all the tasks and deadlines, and because our brains are busy enough being creatives, solving problems and remembering more important things, we usually forget things.

Over the years, I’ve been studying and implementing different productivity systems, including sophisticated approaches like GTD and simple ones like writing down my tasks on paper.

After a lot of trial and error, I found a very simple system that works great for me and helps me to be productive and having everything under control.

My productivity system
The method I use involves using a to-do list and a calendar.
I use apps, but it’s also possible to use paper equivalents.
I use apps instead of paper solutions because:
I can access them from anywhere. From my phone, my computer or from the web versions.
I can move and duplicate tasks and events without writing them again.
I can set up alarms.
They help me to live a paperless and minimal life.
