Blocked Flow

Key Objectives Capture all the things that need to get done in a logical system outside your head and off your mind. Discipline yourself to make front-end decisions about all your inputs so you will always have time to plan for the next action.

Problems Too much distraction Ineffective personal organization Lofty values Over reacting

Basic Requirements to Managing Commitments Capture unfinished business in a Task Bucket Clarify what your commitment is and what you have to do Decide on what actions you need to take and organize them in a system that you review regularly

Exercise Write down the project or situation that is most on your mind at this moment. In a single sentence, describe your intended successful outcome for this situation. Write down the very next physical action required to move this action forward. How do you feel?

The Five Stages of Work Flow Collect things that command our attention Process what they mean and what to do about them Organize the results Review as options for what we choose to do Do

Collect Physical in-basket Paper based note-taking devices Electronic note-taking devices Voice recording devices

STUFF In-Basket What is it? Is it actionable? NO Trash Someday/Maybe (file) Reference (retrievable) YES What is the next action? Will it take less than two minutes? YESNO Projects (planning) Project Plans (review for actions) Delegate it Do it Defer it Waiting (for someone else to do) Calendar (to do a specific time) Next Actions (To do as soon as I can)
