  • Lower your ambitions when you are running out of time
    Sometimes there is just not enough time. You have a deadline fast approaching, but what you need to do takes longer than you had anticipated - much longer.

In this 514 th episode, I share a model that has helped me plenty of times to feel less stressed and more in control on such occasions.

  • How to remember to print when you have the chance

    Even if we work digitally most of the time we sometimes need to print things. It can be something that needs to be signed, something we need to bring, something you need to complement your hand-drawn sketches with, or something else.

    But, we might not have a printer available at any given moment.

    If it is not urgent you will have to wait until you are conveniently close to a printer, but then you need to remember that you needed to print whatever it was.

    Printing will become yet another thing you have to remember, amongst all the other things you have going on right now. Quite the nuisance.

    So, in this 513th episode of Done!, I share three simple ways to make this problem smaller.

    Do you have another solution to this problem? Tell me about it in an email to [email protected].

  • Figure out what is important right now

    When the tempo is high at work, we all need to prioritize among all the tasks on our list.

    One popular way to address the issue of what to prioritize is to determine if a task is urgent or not, then if it is important or not, and then put it in the right place in some kind of model (many people use a four-field matrix) or system.

    Generally, the tasks that contribute to the goals you are responsible for are the important tasks.

    But, what if you don't have any goals? Or if your goals are unclear? Are you then stuck with prioritizing only by urgency?

    In this episode, the 511th, I share how to figure out what is important if you lack goals.

    How have you figured out what is most important in your job? Please share it with me. I collect useful tips, tricks, and methods to simplify both my own and other peoples' lives. You will reach me, as always, by emailing [email protected].
