The 1- 2- 3- 4 method
Construct a daily to-do list with four signifier columns.
- The first column is used to mark quick or easy tasks (group 1).
- The second column is used to mark cleaning or tidying tasks (group 2).
- The third column is used to mark lengthy or difficult tasks (group 3).
- The fourth column is used to mark fun or relaxing tasks (group 4).
- For all tasks you rapid log, put a mark into one and only one of these four columns (I use a checkmark).
The process is to pick one task from each group for a total of four tasks. Do these four tasks to become a more efficient person.
