    Life Hackery - Presentation Transcript

    1. Life Hackery Getting Things Done with Room for More
    2. Life Hackery • Productivity Tips, Tricks and Systems that keep you focused on creating great stuff, what ever that may be.
    3. GTD • Getting Things Done by David Allen
    4. GTD Systems • Things • OmniFocus • Google for: GTD
    5. GTD Basics • Projects • Contexts • Items • Actions
    6. Things • Simple To-Do List • Filter your focus • Organize into Projects • Areas are Contexts
    7. Inbox Zero • A vow to not spend more time on any given email then it deserves.
    8. Email is Evil • Robs you of your attention • Derails your focus • Everything is Urgent • You’re paying mental debt, with interest, for every unprocessed email in your inbox
    9. My Verbs • Delete(or archive) • Delegate • Reply • Process
    10. Delete • You really don’t need it. • Act on it, or get rid of it. • If you really do need it, archive it. But don’t go crazy...
    11. Delegate • If someone else can service them better, let them. • Give yourself a reminder to follow up to make sure the email got taken care of.
    12. Reply • Don’t write a novel when a haiku will do. • Get good at quick replies, and process emails faster than ever.
    13. Process • Does this email require me to do something now? • If it takes less than an hour to process, then Just Do It. • If it will take longer, capture in your GTD system, and move on.
    14. Getting Started • Set up an Email DMZ • Quarantine your time • Schedule an Email Dash, once an hour. • Stay at zero by the end of each day.
    15. Resources • http://inboxzero.com • http://43folders.com/ • http://gettingthingsdone.com/ • http://lifehacker.com/ • http://culturedcode.com/things
