Getting Things Done (GTD)
‣
Getting Things Done (Kindle Link) Method:
- Capture: Note stuff down, always
- Clarify: Refine useful stuff you captured, is it a task? break down + make it actionable
- Organise: Put it in the right place, schedule time, add dates/deadlines if actionable
- Reflect: Dispose of any crap, make sure things are up to date, further refine your notes
- Engage: Do the actual stuff, don't get caught in convoluting your workflow
Time Blocking
‣
- Blocking out a dedicated time to work on a specific task
2-Minute Rule
- If a task arises that will take less than 2 minutes to complete, do it now
1) Notion - https://www.notion.so/
‣
- Often coined as a "human operating system"
- We often hold too much information at one time, training to capture more often
- Hierarchy structure through pages
- Key features: Databases, embeds, publish to web, todo lists, calendars
- My personal homepage:
My Key Use-cases
- Directory - "little black book" equivilant. Freelancers, agencies, good industry contacts, etc
- Digital Archiving - Sets of basic databases with tagged entries that link to digital scans of paperwork.
- Finances - Embed of a google spreadsheet that details regular cashflow
- Travel - Itineraties, flight/hotel booking refs, guides, recommendations from friends
- Health - Notes from every consultation, trackers on any "active" investigations, etc
- Book Notes - Lots of good frameworks for book notes, main focus is on chapter breakdowns, with higher-level analysis after finishing
