I use Gavin Mountfords software: The Results Machine for my to do list 🙂
Excellent subject ‘To Do List’. Thank you for sharing Debbie
I have that software too and yet… I still like going back to pen & paper
Maureen. Kinda makes it stick!
Brian I’m looking forward tour own book. You have a gift man. Thanks for
sharing. -Francis from Manila
watching the video/getting the visuals to reinforce it is transforming me
from the thinker to doer! thanks
So happy to hear that, Nila!! 🙂
It’s amazing how much of everything can be broken down into <2 minute
tasks...Even cleaning the house or your office/desk can be broken down into
2 minutes of taking stuff off your desk or re-shelving books or materials.
Often, I'll spend 2 minutes creating a pile of "desk Debris", then come
back it later in the day and spend 2 minutes either creating piles of like
materials to re-file later or actually re-filing them.
Thanks, Brian. Watching your youtube in the morning is a very sunny start
of a happy day =)
I agree with this method, but I think is another variable to be considered
which is sometimes when you send the email it can result in things that
takes hours, days, etc. so there is an important distinction to when you
send the email.
This is fantastically useful – like all the simplest things that should be
obvious, but often aren’t. So I’m trying to put it into action right away,
and 1-touching a reply! 😉
Brian, your videos are being of great help in changing my life for better.
Thanks for the great tips and advices. I´m also reading “The Flow”. Great
book! Wish you and your family the best! Cheers!
Thanks!
Agreed! One thing I didn’t go into is whether you even send the email.
There are other options, of course–including deleting it or delegating it.
And, if you don’t want to invest more time in whatever is being discussed,
saying that in an email would take <2 minutes as well. We tend to leave
*those* emails in our inbox b/c we're avoiding making a decision and/or
having a "tough" conversation about something we'd prefer to avoid!
Good tip!
Very useful tip Brian, really makes a difference and gets us to have things
done more efficiently! Thanks!
🙂
Man, glad you’re back… love these short videos with your thoughts. They
are like a beam of wisdom through the screen, short but powerful. Thx Brian.
