Today I mastered my workflow. That sounds super-organized, right? Actually, today I adjusted some of the organizational tools I have been currently utilizing in order to make conscious decisions about my time management. I currently have five major “buckets”: mail basket, smartphone software package, refrigerator notepad, MSU course basket, and my mobile in-box (otherwise known as a purse). Since my “buckets” are located in different physical locations, I am utilizing the Cozi mobile app on my iPhone to keep my lists organized and instantly accessible.
This process was easy for me to complete. Because I already had a system in place, I was able to make small adjustments to allow for more efficiency without spending a lot of time sorting my “buckets”. Some time was spent entering due-dates for my course assignments into the Cozi app, but I spent a majority of my time re-organizing my purse.
The Getting Things Done process helped me re-think my Organize process. Breaking this category into four key actions is a great idea, and will definitely help me streamline my to-do lists. I was able to create three “Key Action Category” to-do lists within Cozi (I can add calendar items directly to my Cozi calendar), and can easily move items within each list based on priority.
I plan to continue to use this process in the future. My major stumbling-point will be keeping my to-do lists updated, so I plan on processing my “buckets” at regular intervals throughout the week. Getting Things Done was an easy way for me to master my workflow.
