Getting Things Done

Keep your work area uncluttered.

When I have a critical deadline or a project that will take more than a couple hours to complete I schedule an entire day of uninterrupted work. During that day I don’t answer the phone, check e-mail, or allow meetings and visitors.

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." ~ Steve Jobs

To achieve this effect in RTM I use so-called smart lists. First I assign each action one of the following tags: agendas — meetings, public speaking and most of the things that engage other people. calls — whenever I need to call somebody. computer — things I can do on my computer (writing, programming, email). errands — things to buy, bills, snail mail. home — everything I need to do at home. office — as above, but in my workplace. read — articles, blog post or books I can't read now but I don't want to loose track of.

If you use Getting Things Done® (GTD) or you just need a seriously powerful to-do list, you need to try Tudumo!
