Powerful Productivity

These Time Management techniques can boost your efficiency and shorten your to-do list.

The Pomodoro Technique

                                  Create periods of intense focus and reduce procrastination

1. Choose a task that deserves your full attention.
2. Set a timer for 25 minutes.
3. Work on the task - uninterrupted - unit the timer rings. Put a check mark on a piece of paper.
4. Take a 5 minute break.
5. Set the timer for another 25 minutes, again putting a check mark on a piece of paper. Record how many intervals it takes you to complete certain tasks.
6. When you complete four intervals, take a longer break of 20-30 minutes.
7. Repeat until you finish your task.

Eat That Frog

                                Complete your most challenging or unpleasant task first

1. Make a list of everything you need to accomplish.
2. Identify your frog (or frogs) and put them on the top of the list.
3. In the morning, eat that frog!

Getting Things Done

          Gather all tasks - big, small, personal, professional, immediate, long term - in one place

1. Capture all of you daily, monthly and big-picture tasks.
2. Clarify the tasks and make sure they're actionable.
3. Organize them into categories.
4. Reflect on the task list repeatedly: every week, month or even day.

The Action Method

                                               Organize to-do lists into the following buckets:

1. Action Steps: List specific tasks that are actionable items.
2. References: List any supplementary info/resources you need to get tasks done.
3. Back burners: List things that don't need to be done immediately.
