Comments on: Get it done by getting effective http://bloomport.com/2009/09/07/getting-it-done/ Welcome to my Personal University Wed, 01 Jun 2011 21:48:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: A http://bloomport.com/2009/09/07/getting-it-done/#comment-29 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:37:12 +0000 http://bloomport.com/?p=89#comment-29 Try using 2 categories: Important and Urgent.
Important are things that will really make a difference (typicallyl onger term), while Urgent is just something that really must to be done today (or tomorrow). Get rid of as much Urgent things as possible, so you can focus on the Important ones instead.

PS I used to have a great memory, which meant I did not (need to) structure – or so I thought… Now I am (much) older, and find I do need to structure, because it links things to another, thereby helping my (now failing) memory. Also it helps focusing, because usually you can still remeber at least the top level items of a mind map.
And yes, I also put my mobile, keys, glasses etc. in the same place to easily find them back ;-)

But he discovered he had a photographic memory and could remember everything the instructor did on the board.
