We draw up a list of important, but not urgent matters
Productivity / / December 23, 2019
In early December, we slowly prepare ourselves to celebrate the New Year. To sum up, to prepare the gifts, set goals for the next year - all of this is important, but not yet urgent. But if the delay to the implementation of these cases to the last days of the month, they will turn in an emergency.
, It is necessary to do important things in advance so that this did not occur. And for this purpose should have a list of those cases. Let's try to make it.
Almost every reader knows about Layfhakera Eisenhower matrixBut still remind you of her. It looks like this:
Standard recommendations for each of the blocks are as follows:
- Urgent and important - to avoid
- Urgent and unimportant - delegate
- Non-urgent and important - do
- Non-urgent and unimportant - do
But enough theory, let's get down to drawing up list of important and not urgent, cases that really worth doing.
Organize information. Think about how you usually have time to go to find information. After all, we consume it in such quantities that remember exactly where you are on it is difficult to come across. It was a social network to RSS-feeds, in a search engine? If we add the fact that we are sitting for the Note, that the computer is for your tablet, it becomes sad.
So I planned currently as follows: Maintain a database to store information. For me it is Evernote, which next year is to combine notes with Kindle, data from OneNote, marked records from the Reader, links to the video review.
To have the right connections. Tell me, do you know your mailman? A local doctor, a tax inspector? You know who to call if you have a burst pipe? The list of people, familiarity with which is important, you can continue, but each is unique. therefore Make your list.
disassemble things. Many things are important for us. Some are the key to the memories or emotional experiences. For example, photos or trophies, awards for achievements. Such opportunities should be stored. But here three years nenadevannaya blouse, which only takes up space.
To prepare the necessary documents. Order is important not only in information matters but also in the documents. For example, to get a passport. For some reason so many get it rapidly, to rest before the trip. But the period of validity of ten years. Yet it is worth remembering about the online documents: data domain, a personal certificate Webmoney, Yandex verification.
I specifically do not include in this list the processes and habits that are important to deal with constantly. This communication with family and friends, self-improvement, health care, reading and so on. What would you add to this list?
