A simpler, more actionable, ultimate, efficient system: Zen to do (easy to do)
After two months, the simple (ZTD) series finally ended. I hope this system really helps you. Simple Do (ZTD) series mainly introduces the training of ten good habits of time management, Mifeng will make a brief introduction to each habit in this article, please refer to the full text for details.
In cultivating the 10 habits of simple doing (ZTD), I hope you can only develop a good habit at a time and stick with it for at least 30 days. It is recommended to read Mifeng's "Why Habit training is always a failure" to avoid habit-raising mistakes and to develop good habits successfully.
Habit 1: Collection--Comprehensive collection
Take a small notebook (or any recording tool) with you and use it to record any tasks, ideas, projects, or any other information that flashes into your brain. This habit is exactly the same as GTD, but ztd only needs a small, portable, easy-to-use tool to record information. You must write down the information before you forget it, and quickly clear the information from your notebook and save it to your task list.
Habit 2: Process-quickly make decisions about your information to avoid inbox buildup
The accumulation of raw materials in the inbox is an important cause of the delay. Only timely processing of information, the timely decision on raw materials and induction into categories, you can avoid the accumulation of raw materials. I recommend handling the inbox at least once a day, from top to bottom, one task at a time, as GTD does: two-minute rule, delete, assign to someone, archive, or post it on a calendar.
Habit 3: Planning-setting the most important things of the week (MIT)
Weekly, list the major events you need to complete and put them on the calendar. Every day, list the 1-3 most important things (MITs). In this way, every day and every week you are set goals, and blindly to complete the long task list, you are always accomplishing the most important and most useful things!
Habit 4: Execution-one thing at a time
execution, as the core of all time management, is a very important part of ZTD. You should only do one thing at a time without distractions. Do not work on multiple lines, and don't let your work suddenly break down. Read the full text
Habit 5: A trusted system-build a simple list and view it daily
ZTD (Simple) suggests that you keep the list as easy as possible. Do not add complex systems or try new tools continuously to avoid wasting time. Use a simple checklist as much as you can, as you focus on how to perform the task, rather than playing with your GTD system or GTD tool.
Habit 6: Management--a place where all the information is stored
put all the information you receive into your collection box, process your collection box, perform tasks, and complete tasks. In this system, you should never have doubts about what to do next. It also allows you to focus on your work and avoid procrastination.
Habit 7: Review-Review your system and goals on a weekly basis
The importance of a weekly review is that it gives you an opportunity to reorganize everything and examine what is the most important task. The weekly review of GTD has been great, and simple (ZTD) has largely continued, but added importance to the goal review. Just focus on one goal at a time and make sure it's a goal you can accomplish.
Habit 8: Simplify-Reduce your list of tasks, leaving only the most necessary
Simplify your task list to the minimum, leaving only the most important tasks, so you don't need the complex planning system. Because GTD does not prioritize tasks, all tasks are added to a list, and the list becomes longer, and you have to be tired and busy every day to complete the task. Instead, ZTD asks you to keep simplifying your task list to make sure that your task is just the most important.
Habit 9: General-set weekly, daily routines
Setting a weekly, daily routine can greatly simplify your work and personal life. What's more, you take control of your own life, not the task that is grounded. Without a schedule, it is not easy for us to say no to the newly entered information. Because we're always being held up by people who want to take our time and attract attention, it's not a good thing (unless you don't want to do something important), so you need to control your life, set your schedule, and follow it.
Habit 10: Passion--Do what you dream about
when you really want to do something, no matter how hard, you will try to finish it. You'll have to work harder, take more time, and have less time to delay. So, cultivating this habit is just to keep searching for something that keeps you warm, and makes you energetic and full of motivation.
