3-STEP PROCESS ON GETTING PROJECTS
DONE...FAST!
After using TimeJar.com for over three years, we have had
amazing results. We have been able to launch and run seven different businesses at
the same time while still having a life!
This 3-Step Process works and you will get
measurable results if you follow it using TimeJar.com.
1. BRAINSTORM WITH
BOTTOM-UP PLANNING: Most time management gurus teach that
you should start with your goals and dreams, then come up with your strategy on
how to achieve them. This is called TOP- DOWN planning. However, it is hard to
focus on your long-term goals and aspirations when you have the burden of your daily urgent items sitting on your desk.
In the meantime, your
workspace is a mess, you have so much on your mind you can't think straight,
your cell phone is ringing off the hook. That is NOT a good state to be in while
planning your life vision.
FOCUS is the MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT
in getting things done. You would be amazed at the amount of things you could
get done if you focused 100% of your time and energy to it. Most people try to
complete tasks with multiple interruptions, they jump from project to project,
never giving anything 100% attention. There are some hairy things on your to do
list that could be completed in 10 minutes if you just FOCUSED ALL OF YOUR
ENERGY TOWARD IT!
Knowing that FOCUS is the most important ingredient,
you can understand why TOP-DOWN planning doesn't work! How can you focus on
anything when your mind is clogged up, your desk is a mess, and you can't think
straight?
INSTEAD, lets go from the bottom-up.
Lets start with totally revamping your workspace, clean it up, dump old
materials you don't need, get some file folders and put related things into
files. CLEAN UP ALL OF THE LOOSE ENDS IN YOUR LIFE!
After you do that, lets make a list of
EVERYTHING you have to do in your ENTIRE LIFE! I am talking about everything
from "Do Living Trust" to "Clean Garage". You will know when this list is
complete when you feel good about what is on the paper. Don't worry about
writing too many tasks, that doesn't matter.
2. GROUP TASKS INTO PROJECTS: Next, take that big
list and separate those to dos into PROJECTS. Anything that has 2 or more to
dos should be a project. Separate those projects into 2 categories BUSINESS
and PERSONAL.
NEXT: PRIORITIZE your projects and to
dos. A simple rule to follow is that if your task takes less than 2 minutes to
finish, then do it now. If not can you delegate it? If not you need to put this
item on a prioritized list. You can prioritize PROJECTS and TO DOS. This way,
you know what to do first, you have a prioritized method of plowing through your
projects.
3.
SCHEDULE IT! This is a step that is not taught by most time
management teachers. This is also the step that REVOLUTIONIZED OUR ABILITY TO
GET THINGS DONE AND COMPLETE PROJECTS!
You will never get anything done
unless you schedule it on your calendar. If you were getting married and had a
"wedding project", that project would have a firm date as to when the wedding
was taking place.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO SET A DATE OR THE WEDDING WOULD NEVER HAPPEN! But that is what most
people do--they create a list of projects and goals that they would like to get
done and they forget to SCHEDULE IT ON THEIR CALENDAR!
I am talking about blocking out time to get
certain things done that are important. Lets say your top 3 projects are PLAN
WEDDING, LAUNCH NEW PRODUCT, and TAXES. Take out your calendar for the week and
schedule these projects! Lets say the wedding planning will take at least one
day. Block out an entire day to do ONLY WEDDING PLANNING! You are not going
anywhere else, taking unrelated calls, or anything else. YOU ARE JUST WORKING ON
YOUR WEDDING THAT DAY!
You will be amazed with those results when you
take 100% of your focus and put it on ONE project. You will also be surprised to
find that most projects only take a few hours to complete or to move to the next
step when you are focusing all of your resources on it.
Sometimes I take individual tasks sometimes and
schedule them in 15 minute blocks!
There is MAGIC in scheduling projects and to
dos. Think about it, we do this every day. We schedule birthday parties,
baseball games, and meetings...everything else besides projects we need to get
done!
If you took 10 days and used this simple 3-STEP
method with 100% FOCUS, you would find yourself completing projects that you
never dreamed of!
