How to get Organized and Get Things Done: A System for Tasks, Ideas, and Remembering What Matters
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Let’s organize everything in your mind! From the tasks you need to complete, to calendars and planners, to your notes, ideas, and the random sticky notes floating around your house - it’s time to streamline your system so you can focus on what matters most.
This episode draws inspiration from David Allen’s classic productivity book Getting Things Done, but updated with my own modern approach to task management and organization.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- How working memory capacity in psychology affects your productivity
- The power of a full capture system, regular sorting time, and using the right information at the right moment (all key to building trust in your workflow)
- How to decide what’s a to-do list item, what belongs on your calendar, what's a reminder, and what should be stored as a project note or creative idea
- The philosophy behind different productivity systems - the timeless principles that still work, even if the tools and apps change
- And more!
