De-cluttering Your Mind
Send Everything to Your "Inbox"
- Could be paper or electronic
- Record anything and everything ASAP
- Action items
- Ideas
- Appointments
Processing Your Inbox
For each item in your inbox you'll want to:
- If it will take less than two minutes, just do it
- Add clarity
- Make it actionable
- Ask "What's the next step to move this forward?"
- Categorize it and add reminders
Regular Reflection
Day book
- YTB (Yesterday, Today, Blockers)
- What did I do yesterday?
- What will I do today?
- What's getting in my way?
- A great blank space for notes each day
Weekly/Monthly
- Checking in on larger projects
- Analyze your own performance
- Setting goals for the next increment
Routines/Habits
Habit Stacking
- Take advantage of current habits
- After I make coffee I process my inbox
- Incremental daily progress = exponential growth
- After inbox processing I read 3 pages
Environment
- Your environment shapes your behavior
- Separate work and play if possible
- Simplify your desktop, phone, etc to limit chaos
Time Management
- Live by your calendar
- If it's not on there it doesn't exist
- Ideally tied into your "inbox" system
- Ensure you have prolonged, dedicated focus time
- Plan what times you'll engage with distractions
Communicating Clearly
- Know what your "ask" is
- Eliminate fluff
- Make it easy for them to get you what you need
- Review what you send
