The presenter I watched today was Lisa Johnson - someone I already followed on Twitter and had heard speak previously. This session was on productivity, something we all struggle with from time to time. The key messages from the session were:
- There is no “One Size Fits All” for Productivity
- Being mindful of balance is key
- To get started, you need to identify goals It’s important to notice that macro goals are composed of micro goals
- Ask yourself:
- What do you want to do more of?
- What do you want to do less of?
- What do you want to finish?
- What do you want to do better?
- Visually tracking habits helps to stay on track
- Failure is small mistakes repeated daily
- Determine your “Value Buckets”
- Choose the three values that are the most important and relevant to you
- We live in an era of a lot of distractions - try to minimise these by setting time aside to get through your to-do list
- A “Brain Dump” can help to be efficient
- Being mindful and realistic with your time will help you to be successful
- Know what you value - It is easy to goal-set and to work toward a goal if you have identified what you’re working towards
- Recognize that time with your family is your most important time
- Email is an inefficient tool - find a system to address sending/receiving emails
* the snooze feature of Gmail is a feature I used frequently to ensure that emails or work that I can't deal with till a later date is removed from my inbox and pops back up on the selected day for me to action!
