The purpose of the planning system is to help a person in the conditions of modern society do more and get tired much less. This is a management strategy that will allow you to quickly and efficiently complete daily tasks, as well as easily combine different types of activities.
Put everything on paper
Never keep all the thoughts in your head. It is very important to put them on paper every day in order to organize your ideas and give them a certain shape.
Remove excess
Every small piece of paper on your desk, every phone number and note in your notebook requires an explanation. You must know exactly what this means. If there is no reasonable explanation, just cross out or throw out the extra context.
Create projects
Each of your thoughts and ideas requires an organization with an indication of the hypothesis, specific actions and the final result. This will help you bring it to life.
Develop lists
You should always have a series of lists in sight. First, there is a list of “actionable” activities, such as buying milk, going to the theater, or meeting with a supplier. Secondly, "projects" contain clear goals, objectives and active steps that require action. And, finally, a list of "events", that is, one-time actions.
Keep crazy ideas close at hand
There are things that at a given moment in time you cannot bring to life, but after a certain period of time they can return to your life and increase your well-being. Capture such ideas on paper and simply save.
Write about your successes and failures
Take responsibility for writing each week about what you've accomplished. This will help you understand if you are going in the right direction and what needs to be done in order to increase your productivity.
