STEP 1: MAKE A LIST

  • All classes, all assignments
    • Finish this blogpost
    • Study for Spanish Test
    • Do all my Geometry Homework

STEP 2: NOTICE WHAT YOU NOTICED

• Priorities ! ! !
  • Make sure I’m not stressed or overworking myself
  • Get School done for the week
  • Practice Driving
  • Do things I enjoy

STEP 3: SET A TIMER

1. Set a timer for your first task
   1. Decide how long you think it will take before you start
2. Start working
3. Repeat this process for 45 minutes for as many tasks as you can complete, then take a 15-minute break
   • Get up and get a drink of water
   • Get up and go for a walk
   • Every 20 minute blink your eyes 20 times while looking at least 20 feet away
     • This is good for your eyes

Start steps 1 through 3 again, repeat for your school day

OUTSIDE (PRODUCTIVITY & THE BRAIN)

• Oct. 2020 interview with David Allen

• Reflect on GTD and getting to the top of the colorful list above for a minute
  • How can the GTD process help you tame the crazy-busy dragon of modern life?

• Set your priorities, Don’t let little annoying things change your view on your whole life and change how you see things, just don’t get bothered by stuff easily and trust yourself.
