+[11]Task management system: Analog Calendar
+
+ 2023-05-25 00:00
+
+ My current analog calendar is a Hobonichi Cousin A5.
+
+ I use it part for planning, and part for setting goals on different
+ levels. Yearly, monthly, weekly and daily. I find it very useful
+ process to do in order to see how busy things will be and setting
+ realistic goals.
+
+Yearly
+
+ I use on of the graph pages in the back to define some goals I hope to
+ achieve during the year.
+
+Monthly
+
+ On the monthly pages I make a note of the most important dates like
+ birthdates and pay day and things like that. Plus that I use the empty
+ area left of the calendar to define some goals and things I’d like to
+ complete during the month.
+
+Weekly
+
+ In the weekly page I do a lot of the same. I define some goals for the
+ week and usually write down a few things I really should get done that
+ week. And in the week spread I write down appointments that involve
+ others or require me to go somewhere plus where I am working from and
+ if I have my daughter.
+
+ Makes it really easy to plan and check how much time I have for stuff
+ that show up .
+
+Daily
+
+ The daily page is probably the thing that change the most. In some
+ periods it have been where I do my bullet journaling. These days I use
+ them more to define the focus of the day.
+
+ So the page laypit it is kind of split into two sections, one taking
+ 1/3 and the other taking 2/3.
+
+ The first section I use to outline all the stuff I’m doing that day. It
+ typically looks something like this:
+ * Get up & dressed
+ * Walk the dog
+ * Pack my bag
+ * Skateboard to work
+ * Work
+ + Work meetings
+ + Lunch
+ * Skateboard home
+ * Walk the dog
+ * Eat dinner
+ * Etc
+
+ Then on the big section I first define three areas that I’m going to
+ focus on when I get home from work. After that I use the focus areas to
+ define 2-3 goals/bigger tasks for each of them.

+[11]Bullet Journal
+
+ 2023-05-27 00:00
+
+The nerdy pen bits
+
+ I use Leuchtturm1917 A5 dot grid notebooks for it at the moment.
+ Sometimes the Bullet Journal versions sometimes the regular. It all
+ depends on what is in stock and if I find a color that is cooler than
+ the dull crap they have for the Bullet Journal versions.
+
+ Most of the time I use fountain pens. Usually a finer nibbed one for
+ writing and broad stub to underline headings.
+
+How I use it
+
+ I usually re-collect things when the number of pages from first to last
+ go beyond 20-30 pages, mostly because I find it easier to deal with.
+ Plus that I often need to replace at least some of the goals every 3-5
+ days anyways.
+
+ On the first two pages I write down my current “yearly” theme, and then
+ I write down some goals I have on some areas of my life. Usually weight
+ and fitness goals are there. Plus some things I focus on improving.
+
+ Then I put a marker there. Then I turn the page and make a daily page.
+ I make one every day. And move over whatever was left on the day
+ before.
+
+ I just write down the day of the week and the date. And start adding
+ stuff. I usually start by adding auto generated check lists from things
+ that kind of keep my life together.
+
+ Usually first work stuff, then my personal daily stuff. I often start
+ with the most important stuff. And then things I have to carry over
+ from the day before. And then I put a marker on the start of the daily
+ page and one marker at the first page with free space to write things.
+
+ The first marker is always on the “status / goal page” the second is
+ always at the first page with tasks I haven’t checked off and the last
+ one is always at the first page with available space.
+
+ As I complete things and run out of tasks I start refilling it. Usually
+ start with Daily tasks, move over to weekly and monthly if there are
+ anything there I need to do. And after that over to projects that are
+ in focus. First the ones outlined in the Hobonichi and then later
+ anything not hidden in my task manager.
+
+Formatting
+
+ I don’t use the official Bullet Journal formatting, I’ve tried a few
+ times but after many years of using [12]Dash/Plus as my task management
+ on paper formatting system I’ve never been able to change it.
+
+ The way I do things is that I use one pen and color for writing and
+ another pen and color for underlining things.
+
+ I usually only have two levels of headings. One is the day, and then
+ one for the “collection”, when things go deeper than that I typically
+ will do it as sub-tasks and sub-sub-tasks etc. Anything that has tasks
+ under it will be underlined. To make it easy to spot.
+
+ In addition to this I also often will write a + between different
+ areas. Like when I move from “Work” related tasks to “Daily” tasks etc.
+
+Page layout
+
+ My page layout is usually that I align the top level heading (the day
+ and date) to the left written larger than the rest.
+
+ The collection I typically center.
+
+ I also try to use as much of the page as possible. So, if a collection
+ only takes up half the width or a third of the width of the page, I
+ often will add another section next to it. Other times I write the
+ tasks two or three per line. It all depends on what works and how
+ mindful I am of not wasting page while doing it.

+How to Create an Effective Weekly Schedule
+
+ April 24, 2023
+ by [17]Isaac Smith
+
+ Hero Hero
+
+How to Create an Effective Weekly Schedule
+
+ Have you ever finished a week feeling like your to-do list got longer
+ with each passing day?
+
+ Even though each day was a flurry of activity, it feels like no matter
+ how hard you try and regardless of how much you do, it seems impossible
+ to make progress. I can relate. And there were a lot of weeks this was
+ my reality.
+
+ But it’s been a while since I’ve had one of those weeks. And as a
+ whole, they have become a lot less common. I would attribute much of
+ this due to my weekly and daily planning process.
+
+ Every Monday for the past 5 years, I’ve taken the first 15 minutes to
+ plan the week ahead.
+
+ For me, this has been my single greatest productivity routine. Before
+ being sucked in to the myriad of inboxes and notifications, I take a
+ brief moment to identify and plan what is truly important for the week
+ ahead.
+
+ Part of this planning process includes accounting for the unmovable
+ rocks in my schedule. Meetings, errands, when the kids need picking up,
+ the things I know are going to happen on a specific day and time. These
+ events act as guardrails in my schedule. Hard stopping points in which
+ I know I’ll have to transition out of “get things done” mode.
+
+ With a framework of my week sketched out, I set myself to the task of
+ painting what done or progress looks like. First, what two or three
+ projects do I need to push forward? Second, what are the two to four
+ tasks associated with each project? And what does “done” mean? The more
+ specific the better.
+
+Targets
+
+ In every sport, there is a clear objective — get the ball into the
+ basket, hit the target, get to home base, etc. Strategy and tactics may
+ differ, but ultimately there is clarity on what it means to win. That
+ clarity allows for an endless number of ways to achieve success. The
+ rules and boundaries actually cause creativity to thrive within their
+ confines.
+
+ When we give ourselves clear objectives (targets) to aim for through
+ planning, we increase our ability to be creative. A lack of clarity
+ leads to confusion, inefficiency, and ultimately, frustration.
+
+ When there is a lack of clarity, people waste time and energy on the
+ trivial many. When they have sufficient levels of clarity, they are
+ capable of greater breakthroughs and innovations—greater than people
+ even realize they ought to have—in those areas that are truly vital.
+ —Greg McKeown
+
+ For me, the planning process gives me time and space to identify what
+ is truly important. This results in clarity of what needs to be done.
+ That clarity moves me to precise action.
+
+Winning Each Day
+
+ Once I’ve outlined my weekly plan, I turn my attention to the day
+ ahead.
+
+ Weekly plan Weekly plan
+
+ The same principles that guide my weekly plan are also true for daily
+ planning. Greater clarity on what I’m trying to accomplish leads to
+ taking action.
+
+ This does not mean my tasks do not involve any level of ambiguity.
+ Often in the doing of something, greater clarity comes as a result. I
+ try to remove any guesswork for myself in planning out my tasks.
+
+ Instead of assigning myself the task, “write weekly newsletter” I may
+ start with instead “outline weekly newsletter on restoring margin.” A
+ smaller, bite-size, specific task.
+
+ I’ve found my limit is typically three important tasks (MITs) for each
+ day. And usually I only have enough brain power for two deep work
+ tasks. Things that require a large chunk of un-interrupted focus and
+ creativity. If I assign myself five deep work tasks in a single day,
+ it’s unlikely I’ll get through three of them, and I’ll finish the day
+ feeling behind.
+
+ The real secret to winning each day has been planning my three MITs the
+ day before.
+
+ At the end of each day I review what I accomplished and compare that to
+ my plan for the week. Then, I look at my schedule for the next day and
+ plan the two to three tasks I will tackle.
+
+ * * *
+
+ All of this leads to a remarkable level of calm and responsiveness to
+ my work, rather than feeling frantic and reactive.
+
+ I’m able to be proactive in managing my workload rather than just
+ surviving the dog-pile nature of incoming requests.
+
+ The more I lean into the 4-Focus Method, the more I find it working for
+ me.
+
+ IDENTIFY → PLAN → ACT → CELEBRATE
+
+ Studio spread Studio spread
+
+ My 15-minute planning session on Monday mornings has changed the way I
+ get work done. And thankfully, it’s rare to find myself absolutely
+ buried on Friday as I wrap up my week.
+
+ There will always be more work to do, but I know I’ll be able to plan
+ for it when I’m back in the saddle on Monday.
