Transcript

Only work on tasks, then you can finish now, one of the main stress factors for the organized people is the to do list. Yes, you heard me Well, the very list that's supposed to help you organize yourself is a source of stress for you. Why? The problem? Look at the list to your right. Every time you look at it, you look at each task.

For each task, you make a decision, do it now, or do it later. You do this for all the tasks on the list, then you start over again. The result? You go over a task multiple times before you do it. Every time you go over it, you're no longer focused on what you were doing. And you make a choice to become focused again, you waste energy and time.

Would it help if you went over the list only once without looking at it 20 times. But how can you do this when there are a lot of tasks on the list that cannot be done where you are currently at or with the tools you currently have at your disposal. The solution. Organize your list according to context, divided into several parts considering the tools you have at your disposal. Here's an example, at work all tasks that can be done at work at phone. All the phone calls that you have to make at all my way tasks, such as shopping and others at home, tasks you have to do in your home.

The list could look like this at work. One made the tests for the programmer to write a document for the company threes, but speak to the project chief at phone. One called john to ask about the pictures from the party. At home on my way, one deposit my salary into my bank account at home, take out the trash. Now that you look at the list, you can focus on Doing the tasks that can be done at that moment according to the context, the benefits, you no longer waste time rereading your tasks. You stay focused and simply do the next task on the list.

You work more efficiently. You don't skip important tasks. You have a clear view of what you have to do and when you have to do it
