Editor's Notes
- Have always had a diverse job description Every day is different Needed to focus on how to be productive and effective
- Goals of This Workshop * Connecting your highest priorities to your daily work * Making sure your are focused on the most important things * Managing your own time and effectiveness
- * Do you know what your goals are? * Are they written down? * Recommend the Best Self Journal's exercise for breaking large goals into actionable steps
- Merlin Mann likes to talk about managing your time and your attention I’m going to start with some ideas that have helped me manage what I focus on
- Capture everything Don't trust your brain. Field Notes: "I’m not writing it down to remember it later, I’m writing it down to remember it now.
- * Bullet Journal - Great for capturing * @Waiting list * NEXT ACTION. On a project, what is the next *physical action* that you need to take to move a project forward?
- * Take five minutes to write down everything on your mind right now what you need to do. Think about work, home, your car, your pets... * There's probably a lot more than you realize. * If you don't write it down, it's all rattling around inside your head, trying to get your attention.
- One last item about CAPTURE How many inboxes do you have? This is why a consolidate task list is so important - it's a collection of all the inputs you're getting every day from all of these inboxes.
- Do: David Allen: If it takes 2 minutes or less, do it now. Plan: if it takes more than 2 minutes, WHEN will you do it? (NOT NOW is acceptable) * Archive * Trash: Get rid of it!
- Weekly: What can you mark as "done"? What is no longer needed? What do you need to prepare for next week? Monthly: BULLET JOURNAL: clean slate. Review the past month and the upcoming month. Clear out all my tasks Annual retreat
- START STOP CONSIDER - My favorite! CONTINUE
- TIME - setting aside time to manage yourself Daily planning Setting aside time for managing yourself
- Daily planning: one of the most valuable habits I have ever developed Emergent Task Planner Can be done with any planner
- Learned about this from Merlin Mann Know what kind of schedule you need
- * Use tools that you love * Friction * "Writing it down to remember it today" * Physical artifacts of my life
- Have always had a diverse job description Every day is different Needed to focus on how to be productive and effective
