Just got done with a phone call and the topic was goal setting and getting things done in terms of daily execution to hit goals. Whatever system you use to keep you organized and on task is fine but the key is to DO SOMETHING every single day. Have a plan every single day. And here is another point: It does not need to be sophisticated! So many people have these complicated software programs and Blackberry this and Blackberry that....looking for the perfect organizer. Meanwhile they don't get anything done because they spend all their time organizing. Believe me, I am all in favor or organization and know it leads to higher productivity. But don't spend all your time organizing and not getting anything done. I am on the other side of the fence and my 3 year son probably has a more sophisticated system than I do. But for me, it works and I have used it for years.
Question was asked what do I use? Note cards. I love note cards! I have them with me at all times. Stacks of them. The following is my complicated system:
1. Every morning I write down what I want to get done that day.
2. I do them. (or as many as I can)
3. Next day; start over back at 1 and proceed to number 2.
See today's note card.
