The Simple Two-Step Productivity Process You Need to Try
Hey there, friends! Welcome back to the Channel. Today, I want to share with you a super simple productivity process that will help you get 80% of the benefit with just 20% of the effort. No need to be intimidated by those fancy productivity systems you see online!
Step 1: Capture All Your Ideas and Tasks
If you’re like me, your brain is constantly buzzing with ideas and things to do. But instead of trying to keep everything in your head, it’s much better to get it all out and organized in one place. For me, that place is an app called Todoist.
- Use a quick capture tool like Todoist to jot down your ideas in less than 10 seconds.
- Start your tasks with an action verb for clarity.
- Don’t get bogged down by the app you use – the key is to minimize friction.
For example, when a colleague sends me a document to review, I quickly add it to Todoist so I don’t forget. And when I need to buy a birthday present for a friend, I make sure to set a reminder so I don’t miss the big day!
Step 2: Organize Your Ideas and Tasks
Once you’ve captured all your ideas, the next step is to organize them in places where you’ll actually use that information. This could be your calendar, a note-taking app like Notion, or even just a simple to-do list.
- Identify suitable locations for different types of information.
- Organize your tasks based on where you’ll need them in the future.
- Don’t be afraid to skip the calendar for tasks that aren’t time-specific.
For example, after a creative workout session at the gym, I make sure to add my marketing ideas to our team’s meeting agenda, email my manager about any issues, and jot down video ideas for my YouTube channel.
By following these two simple steps, you can stay organized, focused, and efficient in your daily tasks. So go ahead and give it a try – you’ll be amazed at how much more productive you can be!
And remember, the key to success is to capture, organize, and take action on your ideas. So don’t be afraid to start small and build from there. You’ve got this!
