The best way for me to stay focussed

Monday, March 5th, 2012

Just like you, I also get distracted by what I’m supposed to do versus what looks interesting to me at the time.

This humble kitchen timer is all it takes to keep me focussed and on task.

Of course, that’s if I use it :)

What is your best tip or trick to keep you on task?

*******************************

I’m speaking to more and more and STILL more of you who are telling me you already feel like a whole year has passed and you need another holiday, barely 3 months into 2012.
This is not good but I understand!
Life gets away with us and we feel like we’re on those hamster wheels, running and running and getting nowhere. Barely keeping up.
I want to help you!
There are 3 ways to do this, depending on your situation and your personal style:
1. you feel like you’re sinking and every day you’re taking it literally hour by hour - do it yourself
Break out of overwhelm is for you
2. you’re stressed and frazzled, and you recognise that you need to do something – do it yourself

 

3. you definitely need help with your time but you need some support and accountability
Organise your time with GROUP coaching is for you
I’ve now also made international and South African currency options available.

Client success story from my Facebook wall
on the Organise your Time system
“I know this is your personal page, but here is something you can
also feel good about while you are vacationing. I ordered your program
in late November. I’m in my sixth week of using my new time management
system at work (which gets tweaked a little every week) and I have
reduced so much stress in my day. I think I have found a good balance
between paper and electronic planning and calendars that works for me.
Thanks for the inspiration to look at the basics again — and venture
out into creative ways to recreate my work style as it relates to time
management and productivity.”

Like Dr Phil says, why live even one more day in a state you’re unhappy with? Let’s get your time sorted now.
I was in exactly your position years ago and I know the desperation and frustration you feel.
Let’s sort it out.
 

My favourite organising tools #5 – timers

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

I mentioned in yesterday’s post on focus that I have a special something to help me stay focussed.

This is it – a timer.

It is one of my favourite organising tools for these three reasons:

  1. it keeps me focussed and on task
  2. it helps me to work quickly
  3. it helps me to plan for project work

You know that work expands to find the time available? This is called Parkinson’s Law. That’s why if you plan to clean your house the entire day, you will take the entire day. But if you’re going out and you only have 2 hours to do it, it will get done in that time.

1. I use this one in the kitchen (because the oven one doesn’t work properly) and in the laundry area. When I have something in the oven (like now as I’m typing this), I take the timer with me so I don’t forget about my cooking.


2. And I use this one in my study for the computer and in the bedroom when I’m sorting cupboards or doing some quick reorganising (like I need to do this weekend with my handbags)


Do you use timers? How else do you use them?
