Stop Making To-Do Lists Do This Instead

Stop Making To-Do Lists Do This Instead

Problem

  • To-do lists should be called painful wish lists. A series of tasks you hope to accomplish, without a specific plan. 

Solutions

  • Schedule a chunk of time for everything that is important to you; this is called “time blocking” or “time boxing.”
  •  Important items should be scheduled as early in the day as possible
  • Third, don’t cancel goals; reschedule them if necessary.
  • Treat your time-blocked calendar entries as if they were appointments with your doctor; they are that important.

Every Yes Is a No to Something Else

Every Yes Is a No to Something Else

  • Every Yes is a No to something else. It's not that you should say no to everything; it's that you should think it through.
  • uncontrolled, saying yes to requests for time will quickly block out all the other things we value—including the very things that made us successful in the first place.
  • Give yourself permission to say no without guilt. You should not care about what others think of you for declining their requests!
  • Say no to everything that does not support your immediate goals

The E-3C System

The E-3C System

E-(Energy)=You can’t make more time, but you can increase your productivity, by getting enough sleep, eating healthy, and doing meditation

C-(CAPTURE)=You must “capture” everything and anything into a notebook instead of trying to keep things in your head.

C-(CALENDAR)-What is implied with this step is don’t use a to-do list! If you want “to do” something, immediately schedule it on your calendar.

C-(Concentrate)- Don’t multitask, concentrate on one task at a time.

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

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.

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!

Sean Green

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

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

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.

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!
