Defining the outcomes and next steps
Want to share feedback about the podcast? It would be much appreciated. 3 min survey here:
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/N72QP67
Your activity for today is to get your inboxes together and process them in one go, ideally without any distractions or interruptions.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Can I delete it? If so, then trash it.
- Can I do it now in less than 2 minutes? If so, do it.
- Is it just useful information to store? If so, store it somewhere.
- Does it need to be done on or after a specific time? If so, add it to your Calendar.
- Is it waiting on something else to happen first? If so, add it to a list called “Waiting“.
- Is it something only for the future? If so, add it to a list called “Someday”.
- Everything else goes in your To-Do list.
For all of your tasks define them clearly with:
- What a good outcome looks like; and
- What’s the next step.
For tasks on your To-Do list, add:
- How long will it take;
- How will it affect your energy;
- Does it need to be done in a certain way or at a specific place; and
- How much of a priority is it?
