A Lean Journey In today’s busy world, many people have difficulty managing their time and getting everything done. Some people are very busy, but they never manage to achieve the things they really want. So the question is “How can you improve your time management to increase your productivity?”
While doing some research online about time management techniques I came across this ClarityMap.
This time management process follows these 3 simple steps to get things done.
1. Create a list of actions. Write down all the things you want to get done for the day. Everything from writing, creating content, or planning your next project to answering your email and balancing your checkbook.
2. Assign each action a time. Pick a specific time to each task or group of tasks. Anything from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Chunks of 30 minutes or less work best.
3. Do the action! Select a task, start a timer (like an egg time), and focus on nothing but accomplishing that task. This means you don’t answer the phone, you don’t get up for a drink, you don’t log onto computer – none of that. You remain focused on the task-at-hand!
Derek Franklin is the creator of this ClarityMap and The Action Machine, a visual time management software based on the above steps. The goal behind The Action Machine is simple: To give you a way to visually structure your day in a way that you feel absolutely compelled to take action and get things done, once and for all!
This ClarityMap offers 16 ways to take more action on your tasks. They include declutter techniques, use of checklists, and ways to avoid procrastination and distractions. Take an action item and plan time to review these methods.
