Joan, thanks so much for your comment. I’m glad to hear that this method has worked for you! And I hope that you are able to get back in the habit. Let us know how it’s going.

Great post! Just wanted to affirm that this works! I used this process for more than a year recently and accomplished more than I dreamed possible. Then I got out of the habit — DON’T DO THAT!!! — and my productivity (and happiness) went way down. This inspires me to get back into that habit.

Thanks!
Joan

@Bob, thanks for your comment. We have so many distractions we forget what it’s like to focus on something. It’s amazing what you can get done when you give it your full attention. I do need to drop by and get some tips on PM because when you think about it, our lives are just one big project.

Becky- really like the “capacity planning” emphasis. Many are great at calendaring but end up going from one activity to the next being unprepared. I find that lack of preparation means a lot of what I call “stops, starts and redos” which waste a lot of time. We almost need to do less in a better way to cut down the bad multi-tasking- this is what I love to write about at http://www.projectmanagement411.com, i.e., the ways good project management practices enable efficient prioritization of projects and alignment with strategies- whether it be on a personal or business level.
