Yes there is a lot of power in ‘Doing’ although I do think that as you mention about ‘Doing the right thing’, is also something to take into good consideration.

How many people aren’s extremely ‘well trained’ to efficiently run ‘up’ and ‘down’ ladders, while not knowing that their ladder isn’t standing at the right wall?

Because I do think that being ‘Busy’ doesn’t alway’s equal being productive.

All the Best,
To your Happy Inspiration,

[...] In this post I’d like to share five questions which will help you put your life in high gear.

They will help you find out what truly matters to you and set your life around it. These are not the kind of questions which you answer just once and then move on. Instead, they are the kind of questions which you should ask yourself from time to time. Here they are: [...]

You’re right, Alan. The important thing is actually doing what we need to do. The role of these questions is nothing but to help us actually do and do the right thing.

This is indeed very helpful. The use of these questions is simply wonderful in making room for productivity in our minds. We may have the idea of how to be productive, but thinking about it doesn’t make a change unless we do it.

Thanks, Howie. That’s exactly what I hope the questions will do: guiding us to make the right decisions throughout the days.

Luciano:
Interesting idea, Luciano. Avoiding burnout is indeed very important, so is avoiding Parkinson’s Law. Those are two big enemies of productivity.

HP:
I believe there are many ways to approach time management. The key is choosing the one that works for us. In this post I outlined one such system which I hope can handle some issues in time management. Once this system is integrated in our workflow, I believe it will automatically flow without too much thinking for each question. Of course, this is just one possible approach. I’m glad you told us some other alternatives.

I also try to often time important tasks. I’m using outlook calendar and put timed tasks there to block time for this task and make sure other people won’t show up to interrupt me. Reminders set to these tasks are helpful too.

As you might know some years ago I worked at a ‘Fast Paced’ well known Big Record Company, an environment with big ‘Time Pressure’.

There I had my own very simple ‘Time Management’ System, that basically was a
“To do List” that had all kinds of items on it, ones that where scribled ‘Relaxed’ and ‘Vat and Stressful looking’ underlined ones with remarks. (how is that for distinguising your priority list :))

As I said a very easy and simple system, you on the other hand paint a picture of a more complex very rational systematic approach, although a ‘rational’ approach might be sensible for a lot of things, I think that if you would like to be really really really productive sometimes a more ridiculous, outrageaus, ‘Passion Driven’ non-rational approach might be helpfull. (You might have read my blogpost titled:
“Logic is Over Rated” about it that I thought I mentioned once before, you can find it at: http://hpshappy.blogspot.com/search/label/VISION)

Recently I found a very Interesting resource that you might like to have a look you can find it at the link here below:
