KateMats blog - 7 Proven ways to get more done in less time
Summary:
- Put all your tasks at one place
- Prioritise the added task. To prioritise a task,
- decide if the tasks need is urgent or not.
- Estimate the value of the task by estimating the impact of the task to the team/org/product/other teams
- Sort the tasks by the effort those task will take to finish.
- Be on time especially to the meetings or any commitments.
- Be present and focused when doing an task.
- Keep track of everything in one place.
- When you are thinking of a difficult task or project, change the way we think. Instead of thinking
we can't do this because of ...
, we should change the thinking likewe can do this if these things exist - ...
. - When stone walled on a task and procrastinating the tasks, to break out of this do one thing which can be done in next 5 - 10 minutes.
- For every task or milestone, set some deadline and then for these tasks establish timeline.
My thoughts
- I use Obsidian to capture all the thoughts and tasks (you can see My_Development_Configuration).
- I need to learn to set priority for the tasks so that I can better plan and be more effective.
- I need to practice coming up with
we can do this if ... exists
mentality especially when designing. - Many of the the above solutions sounds similar to what is prescribed in Get things done book (here is summary - Book-Summary-Getting_Things_Done). If you have not read the book, do read it.
