Tips and tricks for planning
I think it has a lot to do with self-discipline
and not having things open or close enough to divert your attention.
Sometimes, it can be helpful to move to a spot with
less visual noise.
Don't keep your phone close - put it away.
You don't need it.
Moving yourself to another location and only concentrating on the task at hand it simply increases your focus.
Dedicate time and make sure there are no disturbing elements.
Best efficiency tip.
Coffee - lots of coffee.
Asking for help when you need it is not always easy, especially if you almost have it
but just don't have the time.
called embrace the suck.
This is gonna suck.
It is gonna be insanely hard.
And it is going to take a long time.
And it is not going to be fun along the way.
But when you are done, it is going to be really nice.
So it is going to suck, but embrace it.
Take a break - move your focus.
I move focus and tap into the dishwasher effect.
I go to descale the coffee maker, then I get a new perspective.
Write things down.
Just write things down. If it was in your calendar you wouldn't be in doubt.
I use a calendar to write down meetings
so I'll get a reminder before.
I make a lot of checklists. I put a check mark when it is done and a minus when
it is almost there.
I use a disposition as a form of checklist so I do not forget ideas.
The beginning and the end of the day.
The first thing I do each day is to check my calendar.
What appointments do I have today?
I check the notes for the day in my notebook and at the same time I ask my colleagues
if they have something else that needs to be prioritized.
At the end of the day, I go through the day and think about what is on
for tomorrow.
When you come in the next day, you already know what to do.
You have already thought it through once.
You may not remember your thoughts exactly, but you have been through the
thought process, so it is in the back of your mind even if you go home and relax.
