Don’t Just Get Organized – Get Productive! Beth Griese Beth@theroaringmouse.net
My yodas. Most of the ideas I’ll be talking about are the best and the brightest from these people.
Organization The goal is not to be “organized.”
Productive Organization The goal is to be productive. Get the right things done. Make your brain work less, not more.
A productive organization system has these four elements. Input Processing Output Maintenance
Input Input=Collecting everything that comes at you.
We all deal with a rainstorm of to-dos.
Install funnels to collect that rain and get it into barrels you can use.
Collect everything, and O-H-I-O: Only Handle It Once
This especially includes emails.
Pay attention to YOURSELF When you’re collecting, don’t forget to collect what you really want to do, too!
Processing Processing=Deciding what to do with the things that come in
Delete Delegate Deposit Do There are four things you can do with any item.
Break it down into steps Don’t let the big projects be intimidating!
Don’t just use a to-do list: break up the list by where you need to be in order to do it. @Home @Computer @Office @Errands @Phone
Output Output=Choosing what to do, and when to do it.
Effective not Efficient The goal isn’t to do the most things, it’s to do the most important things.
Identify the Most Important Tasks Choose 2 or 3 tasks (at most) to focus on in one day/workday.
Turn down the distractions!
Maintenance Maintenance=keeping your goals and projects in mind
Thank you! To learn more: ,[object Object]
