Teaching in Higher Ed

What to do before you act on all you’ve captured


Listen Later

Bonni and Dave Stachowiak discuss what to do before you act on all you’ve captured.

PODCAST NOTES:

Episode #32 talked about capture. All the places where we capture what it is we need to do (either because of others’ demands, or freeing up our mind of the “clutter” of stuff that needs doing).

Clarify and organize

Before we do any of it… we need to:

  1. Clarify – process what it means
  2. Organize – put it where it belongs
  3. For each item we have captured, we ask:

    What action needs to take place?

    Follow this GTD guide

    If it isn’t actionable, are you going to need it in the future for reference?

    Avoid becoming a digital hoarder

    How I store files related to class content and specific classes

    Don’t get carried away with folders, especially email, because as we read more on our mobile devices, pretty long to scroll through.

    Dropbox debuts file commenting; rolls out “badge” for collaborating on Microsoft documents

    Evernote/OneNote: another place not to get carried away with folders. Work, personal, reference + any shared notebooks (i.e. bondbox)

    Actionable tasks

    Put it into a trusted system, so you can consider it in relation to all your other priorities.
