- A tada list, or to-done list, tracks daily accomplishments to shift focus from pending tasks to completed ones.
- Monthly pages include daily entries and a summary drawing highlighting key achievements.
- Examples of accomplishments: starting a Substack, learning CSS, creating a component library, and drafting posts on linear algebra.
- Pros: Reinforces accomplishments and shows how past efforts enable current successes, like creating Minnesota landscape cards after extensive watercolor studies.
- Cons: Daily pressure to achieve something notable and maintaining the list over a year became burdensome, leading to decreased consistency.
- Conclusion: The tada list serves as a valuable artifact of progress, though its continuation depends on balancing benefits with the effort required.
