Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m efficient now, blowing through my list every day, but I’ve started to feel hollow about it
- My lists have gone stale and I’ve stopped trusting them, so I’m back to carrying everything in my head and dreading Monday
- Every time I try to get organized I try to overhaul everything at once, and a week later the whole thing has collapsed because it was too much to keep up
- I open my laptop, fall straight into email and Slack, and by the end of the day I’ve been busy nonstop but the one thing that actually mattered never got touched
- I can’t stay on one thing
Practices that may help
- Zen To Done (ZTD), Made Practical
