Staying organized
Notes I take from the course: Plural sight - Staying Organized to Improve Productivity
Productivity depends on Clear Goals
- Productiviy depends on effective communication
Manage what you have before seeking more
I wish I had more time
- They are doing too much
- They say yes to many things, to many peoples
- They underestimate how long some thing will take
- Lack of organization, not being able to find the approriate files
- They want to make some thing perfect. You'll never get anything done
-> Need to automate, declutter, set boundaries or limits.
I wish I had more space
- They fill up their space for things
-> Need to declutter, set boundaries or limits
I wish I had more energy
- eating right
- exercising
- sleep enough
- self-care -> Need to build endurance, develop focus, and healthy habits
I wish I had more money
-> Need to declutter, set boundaries or limits
Maxmize workspace productivity
How to optimize our work environment(physical space)
Question to ask yourself
- Why do you want to become more organized? Why do you want to become more productive?
- When do you feel the most disorganized?
- Describe a time when you felft the most organized?
Avoid opening any applications that are contrary to your work's mission
Keeping slack, microsoft open all the day is like sitting in a middle of this loud room trying to work. You work attention is going to be split. Only open those communication tools when you need to and plans to communicate with other people
Use different spaces spaces for different tasks
Optimize project
Organize your life
- Seperate your primary vs secondary goals.
- Plan and schedule time do what you need to achive your goals.
