Write It Down

Write It Down

Uncompleted commitments take up psychic energy, each one making you just the tiniest bit more tired, more distracted, and therefore less productive.

The first step to managing your life and time is getting every commitment, large and small, out of your head and into a trusted system.

Get a Head Start

Get a Head Start

Before leaving your workspace, or before going to bed, take 10 minutes to look over the next dayโ€™s commitments.

Decide what youโ€™ll do first. Look at that to-do list and decide whether any tasks on it can be delegated to someone else or crossed off the list altogether.

Do Your Most Dreaded Task First

Do Your Most Dreaded Task First

Every one of us has one or more tasks on our to-do list that we dread doing.

Turn off Distractions

Turn off Distractions

One of the major productivity killers is the distraction of constant interruptions: emails, phone calls, people appearing at your doorโ€ฆ

Take Breaks

Take Breaks

Thereโ€™s a limit to how long anybody can devote deep focus to a task.

After a certain amount of time, the law of diminishing returns kicks in, and fatigueโ€”physical and/or mentalโ€”starts to impair your effectiveness.

Schedule breaks periodically even during the busiest days.

Get Some Exercise

Get Some Exercise

Exercise makes you healthier, so be sure to get some exercise every day.

Delegate

Delegate

Evaluate that to-do list carefully. What tasks could someone else do, thereby freeing you up to focus on the things only you can do?

Say No

Say No

When someone calls or appears at your door with a request for your participation in some activity, take a breath and consider whether it fits into your own prioritiesย 

If the answer is no, thenย just say no. Practice it ahead of time: โ€œThank you for inviting me, but no.โ€ โ€œThank you for thinking of me, but no.โ€

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.

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!

Sean Green

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!
