Tasks
- Review the videos and select a few specific tools to focus on.
- Go into the week by creating both some structure and margin. Do this by taking a few minutes at the beginning of the week to schedule two or three ‘5 before 11’ tasks for each day, but leave 2 or 3 to be defined each day.
- Create a weekly system and replicate it for several months.
- As your system becomes a norm for you layer in more time management tools from the course. Don’t try to do it all at once. Succeed with a few things repeatedly and then build upon that success.
