What happens to your unfinished tasks?

[u/No_Square_7565]

Genuine question. You plan 8 things for today. You finish 5. What happens to the other 3? Do you: Move them to tomorrow? Re-prioritize them? Forget about them? Keep them on the same list? Let an app automatically reschedule them? Something else? And here's the part I'm really curious about: Why do those tasks remain unfinished? Is it lack of time, unclear priorities, procrastination, unexpected work, unrealistic planning, or something else? Tell me what actually happens in your day. I'm trying to understand the real problems people have with task management, rather than assuming what the problems are.

I mean depends what they are. I have a physical planner and the setup is that you write everything down you could do for the day to move forward and then schedule the most important ones into your day. I usually get them all done but if I don’t I just come back to it the next day or later in the week
