You’ve all heard it….Keep It Simple Stupid…or KISS is one of those not-new things well all “know” but rarely apply.
In today’s increasing complex world, I’m finding myself hungering to simplify everything that I can. This is especially true of my online business, because I’m still a ways away from the much lauded “four hour work week”.
One of my favorite gurus had a webinar he did recently on Time Management. It was about the Pomodoro method.
It was a real eye opener for me, but it was kind of lacking in one area. Namely; how do you “bucketize” your things to do.
Enter David Allen. He has a whole system called “Getting Things Done” or GTD for short. A friend at work recently went to one of his seminars and raved about it, so I checked it out for myself.
It really is a whole new way of thinking about all the open loops in your life. Everything from the mundane (buy milk) to the ridiculously complex (make my house sustainable).
Combining these two methods together has really changed both how productive I am as well as relieved my poor brain from having to keep track of all my “stuff”.
I’m by no means a black belt yet at either of these methods, but It does give me a nice simple structure to put my life in.
