Getting things done is hot these days. People have so much things to do, that time management is becoming extremely important in order to deal with your time as good as possible.
Getting things done is more like, getting 'all' those things done. But there are so many things!
Let me give you one, only one, good advice in this post, more to come later in future posts.
Get your 'things' out of your system!
Believe me, try it perhaps, you will see this will clear your mind, and you will start focussing on the things to be done in stead of focussing on the fact that there are so many things to be done.
How?
Start by making lists. Lists of tasks:
- Professional tasks
- Tasks in general
- Tasks on ongoing projects
- Private tasks
- Things you would like to do (but never had time for)
- ...
Getting all these tasks out of your own system (mind) and into offline tasklists, will help you to get a grip on everything. Even the simple action of completing a task and therefore erasing it from a list, will give you a great feeling.
Doing this you will become on top of things. You will look down to the lists. Now you may feel like looking up to a mountain of tasks. It is key to get on top of that mountain and look down.
To be continued ...
