Collection
Processing
Organizing

Doing

10. 1. Collect
First thing to do is Write it down
Empty everything out of your head and
into your “bucket”...

11. 2. Process
Start at the top, one item at a time
Never put anything back to ‘in’
Decide What is the next step?

12. 3. Organize
Projects and Actions
Put everything in its place
There are many tools, Keep it Simple

13. 4. Review
Decide the Most important thing
to be doing right now, and do it.
At least once a week, review and reorganise

14. 5. Do it!
By keeping your head clear, keeping your
to-do lists organised, and your projects
under review, you’ll find it much easier to
actually DO things!
