In this era of fast paced live, often times we feel that we do not have time to do everything that come to us. Family, work, ministry, etc, those are some of the responsibility that we have. I, personally, feel that I don’t have enough time to do what I need to do. And I’m sure many people feels that way. During this time of pondering, I encountered a video that answered what I need. “The art of Stress Free Productivity” by David Allen has been there since 2012 in youtube, and I just watch it recently. have some time for you to watch it yourself first.
What I learnt from that video is that we doesn’t need more time, but we need a “system” to process everything that comes in our live. It doesn’t mean that we need to clear everything in one go, but we need to prioritize what we need to do. and there are 3 steps that need to be done:
1. Capture your mind
2. Make outcome/action decision
3. Use the right map.
It sound simple yet hard to do. I don’t know whether you have watch it before or you’ve just watch it recently. But what have you done to do what the video suggest? I’ve just watched it and I feel excited. I want to do what it has suggested and see the outcome myself. It’s easy to get pump up when we have just listened to this encouraging message, yet it is another story to do and to keep it on in our lives for a long time. Let us practice it and make it a habit.
Hopefully, I’m not oversimplified things, but I hope that you can watch it, even if you have watched it before.
“life is not static, there’s no perfection. if there is, it means I married myself and match myself to the dynamics of life and all that activity.” – David Allen
Have a good day
