Work and Task Management
Workflow and task management can be tough for a lot of people.
We are being inundated with so much information through TV, Facebook, the internet, newspapers, and e-mail that it is no wonder things may fall through the cracks or simply forgotten. Our brain can only hold so much information – that is why telephone numbers are only 10 digits. Your short-term memory should be a focusing tool not a storage shed for all of the things you have on your plate. Oh, what to do?
The first thing is to get it out of your head. Put it in hand and not in head. This means everything – everything small or large. That usually starts with a list. But, does a list ever really get all checked off and then tossed? Not in my world. I just keep adding or losing the list and starting a new one. I am currently working on the David Allen Getting Things Done system and using a couple of different tools to bolster that system. I use OneNote and Asana to try and wangle all the wild cats that live in my head.
What are some of the task and workflow management systems you have in place?
Stay tuned for the results!
