My “Get your 💩 done” technique
In a world full of distraction it’s hard not to lose your focus.
Planer/Organizer to the rescue
Many do this on the computer
Don’t do that. It’s not the same
Handwritten words hold power
Make use of that
Here’s what I do:
The planer/organizer:
- Hardcover
- Decent size
- One page per day
- White, only lines, no fluff
Every Sunday I write on the Sunday page what I want to accomplish the coming week, broad bullet points
Example:
- Forum ready
- 5 long form X posts
- Meeting tax consultant
- Setup 2 new servers
- Payment gateway eBook
This is for checking back in a week and to use it as a pool to grab tasks from
What’s written on this page is meant as a law
I try to accomplish this
Barely any new stuff allowed to be added over the week, otherwise I’ll loose focus and fail
I fill Monday to Friday with broken down tasks of the broader bullet points, giving everything structure and a clear path on how to walk to the desired outcome
I do that still just roughly, not too much details
This is the rough ToDo list for every day
Example:
My main task for the week is setting up a forum
Monday: Get hosting
Tuesday: Install forum
Wednesday: Config theme
Thursday : Create boards
Friday: Launch 🚀
Rough, no details yet
Just a rough schedule
Every evening I check what I did today and prepare for the following day
Going into more detail on what to do the next day, moving non finished tasks from this day to the next
Monday example:
- compare cloud with dedicated server
- ask for discount
- basic installations (ssh, apache, mysql, …)
- register forum domain + dns config
Very detailed
Making it easy to start the next morning
I use colors if I want
Drawings
Whatever I like, it’s personal preference, experiment
Do this and you never wonder in the morning where to start, never wonder what to do
See your goals become reality with this technique
💪🚀💫
