inquired how a juggle the various projects
that I have going on.
I get this question a lot and it usually makes
me laugh.
I know a lot of people more organized than
myself.
I look at them and think how cool it would
be to have all the neat, color coded tabs for
everything and for the desktop of my computer
not to look like a disaster area.
But what I'm figuring out is that there are a
lot of people just like me that want to get things
done but may not have the perfect filing system.
So I'll share what has worked for me, but I'm
guessing you'll have to modify things a bit to
fit you.
Here goes:
:: I map out all my days the night before. The days
I don't do this - my productivity drops by more than
half.
:: I carve out plenty of time to work on 'high return'
tasks and projects. If something gets missed, lost,
or pushed back - it's almost always because it wasn't
a priority.
:: I put together action plans and detail out projects.
This allows me to break big projects down into
manageable tasks. Otherwise they seem 'too big'
and never get done.
:: I put in a lot of time. I don't know any successful
people that don't.
:: I block time for projects. I may spend 50 mins on
one thing and then move to something else. Otherwise
it seems like projects expand to fill all the time available.
Finally - the biggest one:
I do what I'm good at and work with people who do
what they're good at. We're always more productive
when we're doing what we enjoy - and I've been
fortunate enough to build my career so that almost
all my time is spent that way.
That's it really. Nothing magic. I've just figured
out what works for me and keep looking for ways
to improve. Google docs, Gmail and Google Tasks
and Google Calendar have all helped make me a
little more productive.
Take these tips and tweak them to make them work
for you...and strive to keep getting more done.
Dedicated to your success,
Pat
P.S. - If you want to be more productive, be accountable.
No better place for that than PTU.
