Attend To Attention

Attend To Attention

The first thing I learnt from its blink apart from the fact that ninjas are ruthless, agile, and imperfect is that ninjas don't manage time, they manage attention. So, the first step is to know attention cycle. It refers to knowing when you are proactively attentive, when you are actively attentive and when inactively attentive. Some people have proactive attention in the morning and inactive attention after lunch while some have this swapped. But what matters is to do the right things at the right time. The ninja maps his attention levels, noting when he’s at his best and when he slumps.

Making Your E-Mail Inbox Zero

Making Your E-Mail Inbox Zero

First, stop checking your e-mails, and start processing them. You want to get emails out of your inbox qs soon as possible. To process emails efficiently, remember the three d’s: if you can deal with it, delete it, or delegate it in less than two minutes, then do it! 

For Emails that demand more than two minutes, create designated folders- The first, the action folder, is for emails that require an action that will take more than two minutes. Next, the read folder is for emails you’d like to read. And finally, the waiting folder is for emails that need someone else’s attention.

Capture And Collect

Capture And Collect

  1. Jot down all your tasks, shower brilliant ideas, and repetitive thought at one place.
  2. Then take some paper slips and write those tasks, ideas and thoughts in those paper slips.
  3. Now place these paper slips at places like your mail box or office tray. By now, you should be staring down a small mountain of paper.
  4. To attend to these tasks, we first need to organize them.

Organize

Organize

First, sort your tasks into two categories: Projects and Master Actions.

  1. Projects are your most involved tasks. E.g.-getting a wi-fi connection. This task contains a several tasks in itself. Hence, it comes under project.
  2. Next, break your projects down into action items. This list of project-related actions forms part of your Master Action List.
  3. Non-project related tasks – things like “renew driver’s license” or “book meeting room for Tuesday” – should be here, too. Basically, if it’s actionable, it goes on the Master Action List.
  4. Group tasks into categories like “Office,” “Home,” etc.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
