I worked for someone early on who was always making notes for himself, and making lists. That habit transferred to me, and I've just become obsessive about jotting things down. There are various note taking apps, but I find them too cumbersome, it's easier to just use ink on paper. It's simple, it works, and I can stick it in my pocket. By the time I open an app I could have already jotted down whatever the thought was.
Yes, writing the lists down on paper is so much better, I was thinking of buying a small notebook to always have in my pocket.
I have been using Microsoft to do. It is part of Outlook and it also has an app, so you can access it from your computer or phone. The app reminds you of your daily tasks, and it is easy to add things to the list on the go. Hit the plus sign, type or use voice to text. Then hit the up arrow and it's added.
It doesn't matter what you use. Whether it's a piece of paper or an app, you have to be consistent with using the tool, otherwise it will just be another task you forget.
Yes I keep moving back and forth from writing lists on paper or use an app. I need to stick with one thing otherwise I’ll get overwhelmed.
I had an issue with keeping up with KPIs at work once. I just needed better time management. I would come in a little bit earlier and put my daily task in to time slots and give myself a certain amount of time to complete a goal. This helped me stay on track and even be more productive. Keep a check list as well, like a small SOP, near by so you can make sure you’re not forgetting those small details.
Coming in a bit earlier is a great idea as once everyone starts then people keep asking me questions!
I struggle all the time especially if I’m across multiple jobs at once, I use a note pad or the notes app on my phone so I don’t have to remember it all and it seems to help a lot
Note taking is definitely the best solution for time management:)
What do people think about post it notes on your desk? Do you find them chaotic/disorganised or useful?
