Discussion Forum > Stats on The Line and Review
Hi Sarah,
I got on a kick a few months back and tried to keep numbers (before AF4). I realized that what I wanted to know reaquired some calculation so I got into Excel and macros. Then I realized that I was in the weeds and stopped the nonsense and went back to work. LOL ;-)
Just out of habit, I draw a small line each day so I can get a general idea of number of tasks added per day. I also put the date on each task I close (one way or another). But I have not felt moved to do anything about that information.

I completely understand. It might be possible that I have a touch of the Fun Brand of OCD. :^) I used to keep much more detailed info - dates that pages were opened, closed, put up for review, reviewed, etc. Also dates I did things. But, like you, I never DID anything with any of them. These ones are very quick notations and I still don't do anything with them until the topic comes up here!

I've been noting how often I draw The Line and how many items get put up for review when I do. As it turns out, I've been drawing the line just about once a week - my minimum (since I started keeping track on 9/28) has been 5 days and my maximum 11, though the max is misleading (I was on a business trip and so was working from a separate "on a trip" list - first time I'd done that and it was FANTASTIC, by the way).
I have been dismissing somewhere between 3 and 5 items; only once in the last ~6 weeks have I finished a closed list without review. A couple of times I have noted when I went back and did the review, and it points to how crazy life has been - there have been lags of 4-5 days. I really have been chasing the end of the open list a lot lately.
Currently I've got a pretty small list - only 4 pages, with 11 open items above the line and 13 below. I've been doing better at getting through both the open and closed lists since I caught up on all the grading that piled up while I was away last month.
Has anybody else been noting this stuff?
