Pump the personal effectiveness - 2: Process

IN the first part I shared his thoughts on what the nature of effective human. When a character all right - it's time to establish megaeffektivny process.

Write down everything. Do not remember anything

Give up the habit to remember that you need to do. Three to five tasks to keep in mind it is easy, but when they are 10-15, just one list brings ordinary people to depression. There is a feeling that all put pressure on you, the world is unjust, and generally want to leave.

Do not memorize - record. Establishments moleskin, download any software or register Megaplane. Now any business - their own or taken from other - only record there. Release the head. Remember that you always have a list to which you always ask.

Not written - so it is not necessary

Establishments tend to record everything that is worth spending time. Write down exactly the case when you promise to do it. Do not touch, even for short-term business, "ten minutes" without writing. This kind of input filter: if the case record is a pity to spend 20 seconds - do not do it at all. Do not waste your time on trifles.

In addition, near the business always nice tick and watch list melts.

Organize business

Before each working day to determine what needs to be done today, and what will suffer tomorrow. Podrazbey case "before dinner" and "after dinner."

All new, terribly urgent and terrible things to write down "below the line", after the planned affairs: the morning after the request is processed lunch, afternoon - the next morning. Give urgent needs lie at least a couple of hours - during this time the case is ten times refined and half will disappear.
If you feel that to do today than you physically have time - rescheduled, but better - give up. There are very few cases that do not suffer until the next day.

Convenient to plan things in Megaplane: All tasks are deadlines, there are private affairs and checklists. Easy to sort the tasks in time and understand what to undertake in the first place. Refer cases to another too simple - there is a button "Delegate" and the ability to delegate.

Watch for the fact that distracts you

As soon as you realize that now I would like to do anything, but do not work, try to find another useful exercise. Press ten times, flip book, shalt on the table, write a letter to my mother (when the last time you talked?). A good indication that you do not pull work - you pointless messages scroll strip on the social network. He found themselves for this affair - close your browser and go do something useful.

If you work in Megaplane, You have the right at the bottom of the widget, which contains all your posts unsorted. Someone you two days ago asked a trivia question, he did not have the time - so it's time to answer. Someone opened the discussion on the general forum - accomplish your goal now, while not in the mood to work. You'll see, here and there, and inspiration will return.

Give up already this micromanagement

If you have subordinates or assistants - do so that they themselves entirely responsible for their work, without your participation. Communicated to them that they do not work for you, not for the company, and to show how much they are cool. When a person works for himself, he works best.
Stop to control their every move. In the free time it is engaged in strategically important business. Sometimes, strong performers are very weak superiors. Do not be a weak boss.

Do not write letters

Emails - the most vile, that can come up in conversation. If you have to work Megaplan or any other collaboration system, do not even think to write letters to colleagues. Letters devour your overall time but not now, but when they need a week to dig under the rubble of other letters. Better to just not start.

In Megaplane with messaging all is well: instead of letters we have comments and private messages. Full-text search instantly finds all that is needed. Something like this, there are other guys, but we have done it right.

It was another post MegaplanSo there has not been without ads, it's true. But as Megaplan initially free, but for this post we paid, it turns out some opposite effect. However, this does not change the facts.

I want to say that Megaplan will solve all your problems with efficiency. Unfortunately, it is not. Normal life and efficiency depends not on the tools, and what's in your head. Services like Megaplan help avoid wasting time and energy to dull monotonous operations, such as scheduling, memorization tasks, communicate with colleagues through email and other office nonsense.

Megaplan - for people who already have a character, willpower, discipline and order in the head. These people already know how to manage your life and work. They will be a sense of Megaplan. With him, they become great.
