Episode 012: The Adventure of Keeping It All Together Part 2 Staying On Track

Jan 18, 2016

Becky and Diana discuss how to take focus to the next level and maintain it for the duration of a project or completion of a goal.

• Diana uses visual reminders, Becky uses technology. What works best for you?
• One of Becky’s favorite tools is Nozbe, based on David Allen’s book Getting Things Done. It gives her a way to do a brain dump, then organize all the items from the dump and organize them.
• You can also accomplish brain dumps using paper files.
• Reacting to things as they come makes it hard to stay on track and take action.
• Give yourself permission to create the system you need based on your life as it is now.
• Margin in your schedule creates open space so you can be present for your life and work.
• Instead of continuously looking for new ways to do things, first master what you have started.
• Accountability is key for staying on track, but choose your accountability partners wisely.
• Accountability builds trust = Success.
• Using the correct tools is vital to staying on track.
• Knowing what works for you not only makes you more productive, it also builds your self-esteem by giving you a way to track your accomplishments.
• Evernote is a great tool to use with many different systems because it is flexible.
• You can schedule your tech time to create boundaries that help you stay on track.
