Implement Time Planning Systems

IMPLEMENT THESE TIME AND PLANNING SYSTEMS NOW

DON'T WASTE TIME TRYING TO FIND OR DESIGN ONE; DO IT NOW!

It is vital that you have a system set up that works. I've revised and tried to perfect many and I have let many "go under". There is no perfect system, so go with these well-designed systems, then, after everything is working well, you can revise them. Don't waste time trying to devise the perfect system or your own system.

THE CURRENT VERSION THAT I USE

January 2021

I have spent massive amounts of time trying out different systems of task management over the years but not quite settling on one. (I failed to follow the Rule Of Completion, as I Stopped Short.)

If you're reading this and haven't settled on a system, it is time to settle for a system that works and is implementable easily and for sure. For those eternally looking for the perfect system and caught up in massive indecision and barriers to starting, JUST DO IT!

Here is what will work. Get it into effect and learn the systems right away, as they will save you time and make you a better manager of life.

(Incidentally, "superbly working" means I can write down what is needed with assured follow up and that I can find what I need, in an efficient and effective way.)

These are no or low cost. The low cost ones should be done even if there is a no cost version, but each of the low cost items do have a no cost version you can start with.

Google Chrome (search engine, but integrated with other free functions and programs)

Google Drive (all free) - Interesting abilities to "share" with others

Google Docs, Spreadsheet, Slides

GMail (free, can post tasks from it into your task manager)

Google eBlogger (Free)

Task and calendar management

ToDoIst - For all devices, at once!

Google Calendar (free)

Information management & "tickles"

Evernote (free, or $45/year)

or, likely better, the free OneNote.

Reminders in idevices (These are alarms I can set up to "tickle" my memory, instead of cluttering up my calendar or task management system.)

Alexa for oral reminders

Set those up, asap. Then go about learning them, following the sequences (or videos on YouTube) to learn each of them. You'll save massive amounts of time plus you'll be more effective!!!

I do have various notes on the site relative to these, but I have chosen not to set this up as an instruction manual, for there are plenty of good ones to use already. Use the search engine to go to the relevant subject to see some notes I made for myself, so you can get the idea of a way to approach getting the systems to where I can work with them effectively. You should make notes on each system as you learn how to do them, perhaps also getting a "Dummies" type book for them.

(See also: Program For Productivity And Time Management - The Central Road To An Incredible Life. This is an area for you to fully master!!!!)

Read these primers:

The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey - The basics for running your life, with examples for implementation. The biggest selling book of it sort for all time! Must read.
