Getting the Right Things
Done When Your World Is
Crazy Busy
By Vicki Voisin, ACP
It’s no secret that we live in
a crazy busy world. No matter
how much you do, your “to
do” list is still a mile long and
you always run out of day
before you run out of list.
You’re forever scrambling just
trying to just keep up. It’s
probably safe to say that
you’ve probably given up on
staying ahead.
And that’s just at
work...add your personal and
social obligations and it’s no
wonder you’d like to just hide
under the covers some morn-
ings and skip the rat race.
So how do you get things
done? And not just any old
“things” but the right things?
First, clear your mental
desk. Take 10-15 minutes and
write down everything that
you need to do. This is every-
thing that pops into your
head, from the trial brief to
your friend’s baby gift to your
mother-in-law’s birthday card
to getting a plumber in to fix
that leak. These are just
examples — you get the idea.
Second, grab a blank piece
of paper or spiral notebook.
Pick 7 important things from
your “everything” list. Write
them down...and actually
write them, don’t type them.
Third, do those 7 things in
the order you listed. When
you finish with one, move on
to the next, and then the next,
working through all 7 one by
one.
Fourth, do the same thing
tomorrow. And the day after
and the day after that. If you
don’t finish something today,
it can be moved to tomorrow’s
list if you still think it’s impor-
tant. If its importance has
changed, forget it. Just
because it’s on the list one day
doesn’t guarantee it a place
on tomorrow’s list.
Fifth, use a timer. Once
you get this approach down
pat, add a timer to your rou-
tine. For example, this
newsletter is always on my “To
Do” list so that it gets done in
parts and doesn’t end up
being an all day project. I
allow 30 minutes for each
part. So when “write newslet-
ter” shows up on my list each
day, I set my timer for 30 min-
utes and work on it for that
chunk of time. This keeps me
totally focused and I often get
the newsletter done in less
time.
One more thing: to tame
the always present email, I
check it at set times each day
or between tasks (from
above) if I’m expecting some-
thing important.
I also ‘book’ an hour into
