TRIM YOUR TO DO LIST

TRIM YOUR TO DO LIST

 

Apply the 80-20 Rule to your To Do List, removing the 80% that collectively contribute only 20% of the results.

 

DON'T BE DISTRACTED FROM YOUR PLAN

 

We all want to work on priorities. But what we want to do and what we actually do are two different things. The key to effectiveness is getting the things done that we schedule in our planners. This involves commitment and self-discipline.

 

WISE SAYINGS

 

We can't do everything at once, but we can do something at once.

 

LIVE YOUR PRIORITIES

 

Make sure your planner reflects what you believe to be important.

 

LET YOUR E-MAIL ACCUMULATE

 

We lose about two minutes for every e-mail interruption.

 

STAND-UP MEETINGS

 

You can make difficult decisions up to 20% faster when standing instead of sitting.

 

OVERCOMING PROCRASTINATION

 

List the advantages of doing the task and compare them with the consequences of not doing it. The result may convince you that it should be done.
