- The Magic List system helps prioritize daily tasks in Roam Research, focusing on what makes a day successful.
- Three pillars: understanding the Magic List, setting up queries, and following a 3-step process: Collect, Prioritise, Execute.
- Queries filter tasks into four categories: Recently assigned (inbox), Today (Magic List), Upcoming, and Later.
- Daily routine: collect tasks from inboxes and projects in the morning, prioritise by moving tasks to Today, and execute by tackling big tasks first.
- The system reduces decision fatigue, emphasizes output over time, and uses the Roam Research sidebar as a guide.
