Forget productivity, it’s really all about how to prioritise ⏳
One of the most important skills I had to learn as an entrepreneur is how to prioritise. And how to help your team prioritise too.
In a world of overwhelm it is easy to not move forward as everything feels 'too big'. Procrastination sets in, weeks go by and you still have nothing done.
I was also a big fan of the GTD Methodology. I didn't follow it religiously but it inspired me to think about my own 'get sh*t done' approach.
Here are two of the main things I implement most days:
Use phases of work - Break projects down into phases based on their priority, importance and impact. Focus on the essentials.
Beware of 'projects' - One of my biggest take aways from the GTD Method was 'don't add a project to your to do list'. For example, 'Halloween Party' is a project that needs to be broken down into phases and then actions.
