Heute wird ein unschlagbares Trio für dein Zeitmanagement vorgestellt, bestehend aus einem Kalender und zwei Zetteln, von denen einer digital sein darf. Der erste Zettel dient als Next-Action-Liste (bekannt aus Getting Things Done, GTD), die idealerweise einfach zu befüllen und automatisch zu sortieren ist und drei Prio-Stufen aufweist. Meistens wird dafür ein Task-Manager, wie z.B. Todoist verwendet. Die Next-Action-Liste sollte am Abend vorher vorbereitet werden. Die Next-Action-Liste sollte am Abend vorher vorbereitet werden.Bei Arbeitsbeginn sollte der Kalender überprüft werden, um festzustellen, ob Termine anstehen. Falls ja, nimmst du an diesem Termin teil und schreibst alle anfallenden Aufgaben, Ideen und Erinnerungen auf einen Schmierzettel; deine Inbox. Steht kein Termin im Kalender, s erledigst du die wichtigste Next-Action aus deiner Liste. Alle Unterbrechungen, wie während der konzentrierten Arbeit auf dich einprasseln, schreibst du ebenfalls in die Inbox. Nach einem Arbeitsblock wird die Next-Action-Liste mit der Inbox verglichen. Stehen in der Inbox nur vergleichsweise unwichtige Dinge, so geht es immer mit einer Aufgabe der Next-Action-Liste weiter. Falls jedoch spontan etwas aufgetaucht ist, dass höhere Priorität hat, so bekommt dieser Eintrag deiner Inbox jetzt deine Aufmerksamkeit. So stellst du sicher, dass du den Tag maximal produktiv gestaltet hast, und zu jedem Zeitpunkt an den wirklich wichtigen Dingen gearbeitet hast. Am Ende des Tages wird die Inbox aufgeräumt, wobei manches zur nächsten Next Action für morgen übergeht.

In this critical episode, we delve into a crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of the sales process - outlining clear next steps in the closing section. This discussion highlights a common pitfall where sales presentations end with vague outcomes, leaving the decision-making power solely in the hands of the prospective client. By establishing specific, actionable next steps, real estate professionals can maintain control over the sales process, ensuring efficiency and clarity for both parties involved. Ben emphasizes the importance of this approach in the fast-paced real estate market, where timing is everything. Setting clear expectations not only streamlines the process but also demonstrates a level of professionalism and attention to detail that sets you apart in the competitive sales landscape. This short episode is packed with strategies, tips, and insights on effectively closing sales by confidently guiding prospects through the next stages of the process.

It has been a heavy few weeks here in the United States, as our country as been rocked by the murder of George Floyd, and people have taken to the streets and to social media to express their anger – and also to listen and to learn from one another. Maybe you’ve felt anxious, overwhelmed, heartbroken, confused, humbled, frustrated, or scared. Or maybe, like me, you’ve felt ALL of that. That’s why I felt it was so important to continue our conversation about racism on the podcast this week by inviting back two women who have profoundly impacted my life and taught me so much over the past year, Dr. Lucretia Berry of First Name Basis (http://firstnamebasis.org/) podcast. I got to know these two brilliant mothers and anti-racism educators when they each came on the podcast last year (epsiode 113 (https://3in30podcast.com/captivate-podcast/113-teach-kids-about-racism/) ), and I’m so grateful that our friendships have deepened since that time and they have continued to teach me "off the air" about these super important topics that are dramatically impacting our country right now. Because we have a relationship of trust, I have been able to ask them my uncomfortable and uninformed questions, and having those heartfelt conversations has taught me so much and, really, changed my life. Today, I am asking them YOUR questions, which I’ve gathered from emails and messages I received after these two ladies came on the show. I grouped similar questions together, and then chose THREE that we will focus on today: 1) If children aren't "color blind," why don't my children ever describe people by the color of their skin? 2) I have a Black friend who says he/she has not experienced racism, so it’s hard for me to believe what I hear about racism in the news. Should I listen to my friend, or should I listen to the voices of the media? 3) Is ‘reverse racism’ real? If you are interested in seeing the video of the three of us talking together and hear our entire conversation, which was actually an hour long, I have posted that on YouTube (https://youtu.be/8MVRbb1OIoU) . As you listen to this episode, I hope that you will imagine that I am inviting you into my home to sit with me and be taught by two of my dear friends. That is truly how I think of all 3 in 30 episodes, but especially this one, and I’m so grateful to be part of a community where we genuinely listen, learn, and seek together. Major Takeaways 1) Children won’t discuss what they don’t have the language or the permission to describe. Give them the language by teaching them about melanin and describing the different hues of humanity, and try not to react uncomfortably to conversations about race with your children. 2) Listen to people's experiences and anecdotes, but also dig into the research and the history of systemic racism in this country, and remember that this is not just about overt discriminatory acts; it’s also woven into our country’s major institutions and policies and the way they are enforced. 3) "Racial prejudice" is real and can be harbored by anyone of any race, which is not okay. But the concept of “reverse racism” is not legitimate because racism is "prejudice plus the systemic power to protect or reinforce that prejudice." Next Actions!

Lauresa is a mother of twin preschoolers and a toddler living in Northwest Arkansas with her husband and two dogs. She grew up in a family of 11 kids and is now a registered dietitian growing her own private practice, a teacher, and an enthusiastic gardener. She is the co-founder of the blog Black Thumb Garden Club and co-author of the Black Thumb Garden Club Workbook. Key Points from this episode: Writing is one of the most important things someone can do to make progress in anything. It helps us find clarity and move forward toward goals. Finding time for creativity in small, consistent ways is a powerful way to make progress. Using projects and Next Actions help you stay focused and make the most of your time. Setting rules for yourself during nap time (like no chores, be physically comfy) can open the doorway for you to utilize that time for creative means, but still feel rejuvenated at the end of nap time. Having or being an example of having skills or contributions outside of motherhood helps others know that it's OK! Committing to a career-focused education does not stop you from also choosing to have a family. Having a family is your choice, but you can look back in the hard times and remember that you chose it! Gardening Tips: 1. Manage your Expectations - recognize that all things have times and seasons 2. Plant it Again - as soon as possible! 3. Prevent Total Devastation - use proactive measures to stop potential issues before they start Best starting point for beginner gardeners: Tomato in a 5 gallon pot Stop and remember God to help maintain balance. Ask "What do you need me to do right now?" even if you're really excited about a new idea. The answer is almost always "people, people, people!"
[Ep 207] On my drive to Minneapolis to serve on the faculty of Northwestern Christian Writers Conference, I listened to podcasts: one after another, back-to-back. I welcomed that stream of input filling my mind with ideas, strategies, and solutions that I can apply to my writing life. But it's easy to listen and then forget what I heard. What a waste if I devote hours to listening but never remember or apply what the experts recommend! Life is short. I want to learn and grow and transform—I want to become wiser and more discerning. I'm committed to implementing those ideas! Sort and Stack So first I capture the information. Later, you know what I do? I sort and stack it. I've done this for years without having a name or phrase to put with it, but author Robin Jones Gunn said it in her keynote address: we must learn to sort and stack. Sort and stack. Sort and Stack Conference Notes Sometimes conference attendees report that by the end of the weekend they feel like they've been drinking from a fire hose. They're blasted with so much new information in session after session, they feel hit with input and ideas and vocabulary and concepts they've never heard before. It's overwhelming. It would be easy to set aside the notes from those sessions and return to status quo when they arrive home. But life is short. Those attendees came to learn and grow and transform, so I hope they're committed to implementing those ideas. Avoid the Overwhelm Hopefully they scribbled down copious notes, captured them someplace—to sort and then stack them into logical, usable groups. My breakout session offered probably 30 ideas, maybe more, of ways people can put some heart, soul, and a little laughter into social media. Another session may have offered 20 or 50 more ideas. Soon, the writers will have filled a notebook. It's easy to get overwhelmed. We don't have to do it all, and we don't have to do it all right away. But we don't want to lose those ideas. The conference attendees don't have to implement every idea the day they get home from the conference, and I don't have to implement every idea I heard on the drive home in those podcasts I listened to. We want to sort out what to do when so we try things out in an order that makes sense. Create a Master Stack If we successfully capture the information, we can create a master list and continue to work through it, sorting and stacking over time. We can convert our notes from the master list or “stack” into more lists, labeled however we wish: Research Try next month Archive As you sort notes from your master list into these sub-stacks, you can label them in many ways. Use the nomenclature from the organization, time-management, or productivity systems that make sense to you. Again, think of each new list as another stack. Move notes to one stack or another, sorting as you go. Sort and Stack Based on ROI The Writer's Guide to ROI series helps with sorting and stacking. By thinking through return on investment of any given idea, I can comb through the stack of ideas I collected from my podcast marathon and sort them based on values and goals and efficient use of time. Then I can sort them into new stacks or categories to figure out how and when to implement them. This moves me closer to action I'll take—specifically the very next step. What's the Next Action? Long ago I read David Allen's book Getting Things Done, which explains his productivity methodology. He recommends a Next Action list formed by asking, “What's the next step?” For a long time I stuck a Post-It on my computer monitor with that on it: “What's the next step?” Asking that helped me sort all the possible actions I could take and zero in on the very next one to do. The rest could remain on the Next Actions stack. I learned to phrase each item with a verb so the task or action would be expressed as a specific,

The very first episode of Next Actions for Business. In this episode, I go through my thoughts around relaunching and briefly touch on the importance of your "why" in business
In this week's episode of the Working With Podcast, I answer a question about waiting for and next actions. Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website The Beginners Guide To Building Your Own Productivity System Time And Life Mastery 2018 Edition The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Working With Todoist Next actions Working With Todoist - Waiting for Working With Todoist - My dashboard view Hello and welcome to episode 45 of my Working With Podcast. A podcast created to answer all your questions about productivity, GTD, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein and I am your host for this show. In this week's episode I have a GTD specific question, so for those of you not familiar with GTD, GTD stands for Getting Things Done and is a concept from a book written by David Allen. A great concept and a concept that underpins my whole productivity system. If you haven't read the book, I strongly recommend you do. It will set you up on an amazing journey. Before we get started, in case you missed it, I published the 2018 version of my Email Productivity Mastery course last week. This course updates last years course with better audio quality, something that was really bothering me and I have also added a number of new lessons that include setup guides for Gmail and Outlook and a new folder called “reference” which I have included following feedback from students last year. It's a great course and is currently on its early-bird discount. So, if you want to get your email under control and to start loving email, get yourself enrolled today. This is one course you will definitely not regret purchasing. Okay, let's get on with this week's show, so that means it's time for me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Dimitris. Dimitris asks: “Hi Carl, how do you use the next actions and waiting for contexts or labels?” Great question, Dimitris. Recently I have covered these in my Working With Todoist series of videos on YouTube, but I think a deeper explanation for those of you not using Todoist may help you get a better understanding of just how powerful these two contexts can be in your productivity system. Let us look at the waiting for context first as I think this one is probably the easiest to understand. I use the waiting for label for anything I need reminding about in the future that is dependent on something or someone else. So for example, if I order a new pair of shoes from my favourite bookmaker in the U.K.—I've always wanted to say that—they will send me a confirmation email which will include my shipping number and the link to the site where I can track my delivery. That email will be saved to my waiting for folder in my email app and a copy will be forwarded to Todoist. Now, the thing is, I don't have to send it to Todoist, I do so because in Todoist I have a daily dashboard view, which includes all the things I am waiting for. By forwarding the email to Todoist, I can include it in my daily dashboard. Another example here would be if I send out an email to a group of people asking them all to send me a report on their weekly sales activity. Now this email could mean I will be waiting for ten or eleven people to reply. What I do here is the exact same thing. I add the email to my waiting for folder in my email app and I also send a copy of the email to Todoist. Now in Todoist, I have the ability to add notes and in there I can add the list of people I am waiting for a reply from and when someone replies I can cross off their names from the list. Of course, I could use my original email and the replies to do the same thing, but for me seeing a simple list is much easier than reading through different emails looking to see who replied. And that's pretty much how I use the waiting for context every day. I should point out that the additional step of sending a copy to Todoist is not completely necessary. I only do so because I have my daily dashboard filter in Todoist that tells me what I have planned to do that day and what I am waiting for. I did a video on how I have my dashboard set up and I will put a link to that video in the show notes for those of you curious about it. You can use the waiting for context for pretty much anything—things you bought online, things you have requested from colleagues or information you are waiting for. The only thing I would say though is remember to clear it out. I clean up my folders as part of my weekly review, trying to remember to clean things up every day can become a burden I don't need. With email, it is easy because a reply to my original email will allow me to move the email to another place if I need to and in Todoist I can just complete the task. Now on to the next actions context. This one seems to cause a lot of confusion for people because technically, any task that needs doing is a next action right? Well, yes and no. If the task can be completed now, then yes. But if the task is dependant on another task being completed first then no. For example, if I have two tasks inside a “repaint the living room” project, one task says “ask partner to decide on new colour” and another task says “buy paint”, then until you know what colour paint to buy you cannot go out and buy the paint. So the next action can only apply to “ask partner to decide on new colour”. In it's simplest form that's how the next action label works. However, there are numerous difficulties if you apply the next action context to all tasks you could theoretically complete right now, one of which is the size of the list. It would likely become a huge list of tasks and whenever you have a huge list of tasks you become numb to it and overwhelmed. Once that happens the list becomes useless. You won't look at it. So, a better way to handle this list is to only add one task from each of your active projects as your next action. Once you complete that task you can either add the next actions label to the very next task you need to do, or you can do it when you do your weekly review. It would all depend on when the project needs completing by. Now, you next actions context is only useful to you if you are reviewing it regularly. I review mine every day. There are two reasons for this. The first is because I frequently get all my objective and focus tasks completed early. That's largely because I am an early riser. I usually have an hour or two at the end of my working day to work on other things. So I open up my next actions context and begin at the top and do as many tasks as I can. Usually, it's only two or three, but that's two or three project tasks that I would not have thought about doing had I not looked at my next actions context. The second reason is so I can see what projects are coming due. My projects are ordered in the deadline order. So the project at the top of my project list has the nearest deadline and the project at the bottom has the farthest away deadline. This means my next actions list orders my tasks by project order so the tasks at the top have the closest deadline. This is likely to be dependant on which to-do list manager you are using. But if you can try to make sure tasks are ordered by deadline. When you start using your next actions context diligently, you will find you no longer need to date all your tasks. This has the benefit that only tasks that must be completed on a specific day will have a date attached to it. All other tasks, tasks you would like to complete, but it would not be a problem if you didn't, don't need a date. You will see them if you are reviewing your next actions list every day. Another benefit of the next actions context is when you do your planning at the end of the day. You have a ready prepared list from which to select tasks to do the next day. These, of course, will be based on how busy your schedule is for the day. All you need to do is add the next day's date to the tasks you want to complete and you can be safe in the knowledge that tasks that need doing are getting done when they need to be done. So the final part of all this is when do you make sure the next action context is added to your tasks. Well, that really is up to you. I personally, do it on a Sunday when I do my weekly review. Because I review everything I know what projects need a lot of focus and I know what needs to be done the next week. I can, therefore, make sure I am working on the things that need to be worked on. As I complete tasks in individual projects, I can add the next actions context when I have finished working on that project for the day. For me, this has never been a problem. It takes less than 2 seconds to add the context. Seriously, that should never be a concern for you. If you are doing your weekly reviews, are focused on what's important and know where you are with your projects using the waiting for and next actions context can be a real boost for you. It allows you to relax and be less stressed because you know what needs doing next and by when. Your daily to-do lists are shorter and this prevents you from feeling overwhelmed and becoming numb to your list. But… It does mean you are going to have to trust your system and that means sticking with one app, one system and trusting yourself that you will spend the necessary time each day to plan and maintain things. Good luck and thank you, Dimitris, for your question. I have to admit there have been a few questions similar to this recently and I hope this episode has helped you to better understand how waiting for and next actions work. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.
Episode 05: Introduction to Triple O Productitivty Mindset: Systematise productivity hacking In this episode of the Checklist Legal podcast: • Why you need to systematise your productivity hacking • An overview of the Triple O productivity system • How this productivity system applies to contract documents & contract processes • 3 key tactics to tick off before you start ripping into documents **Key Takeaways** • If you haven’t already, read 'Getting Things Done' by James Allen. This book is an amazing way to think about productivity & processes. • Remember how important it is to tackle a productivity problem in the right order… there’s no point optimising something you could obliterate because it doesn’t really need to be done at all… don’t try outsourcing something which you haven’t fully optimized yet… you’ll be handballing the inefficiencies to others. • Start with the aspect you have the most control over… if that’s the contract, start there, if it’s the process start there. Keep the 3 key tactics in mind before you start… • Save a copy of the old version • Get some metrics • Track your changes **Actionable Challenge** Using a sheet of paper or if you use an note taking app a table with three columns, write at the top of each coloumn 1. OBLITERATE, 2. OPTIMISE, AND 3. OUTSOURCE….. Set a timer for three minutes and - without second guessing yourself or challenging your thoughts, spend three minutes noting down every thing in your life at work or in your personal life that you would like to get rid of or OBLITERATE. Then do the same thing for OPTIMISE.. For three minutes, think about things in your work or personal life you want to make better. Finally, take three minutes to think of things you'd like to delegate to someone else, or OUTSOURCE. Some of the items for 2 may also appear in 3... that's okay. This is a way to start thinking systematically about making improvements and it also gives you a starting point for making your work and personal life more productive.

Welcome to Step 3 of our "10-steps to Ultimate Productivity Course". Here I'll try to help you find that next physical task that helps you get closer to getting a project done. You'll ask yourself many times over: "What's my next action here?" To me, the "Next Actions" concept is the killer feature of the Getting Things Done system by David Allen. The concept of having so many tasks and deciding on the "next physical action that moves things forward" proved to be a very powerful technique for me.  When I discovered the book by David Allen and read it, I understood what's the difference between traditional to-do lists and tasks managers ... and applications based on or inspired by Getting Things Done... like Nozbe :-) Watch this lesson on video at: http://ProductivityCourse.com/3

Perseverance is a definite key to success. And, there are opportunities to persevere in everyday life. "Become a 'possibilitarian.' No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities-- Always see them, for they are always there." ~Norman Vincent Peale I'd like to invite everyone listening to the podcast to my new live, monthly Twitter conversation, Productivity Chat or prodchat. Please visit productivity.podbean.com to learn more, and see how easy it is to join the conversation!Perseverance is not the prettiest word. It sounds harsh and dark and sharp. It turns out, though, that to persevere is the one characteristic unique among all successful people. Whether it's in love, a kid's soccer game or corporate America, the fact that you didn't give up is the key for moving beyond the short-term wins and losses and onto the greater goal. I started to think about my own life and how I could think about perseverance vis-a-vis my productivity. I persevere when I don't feel like working anymore for the day and I do that *one more item* on my Next Actions list that doesn't take much energy. I persevere when I decide to dive into a large project by doing just the next thing (e.g., that first phone call, email or the first sentence of a vision/mission statement) and then decide to continue on with the next action on that project. In what ways do you persevere every day?I encourage you to think about these possibilities to persevere whenever you can, every day. There are opportunities to overcome challenges, competing priorities, and take advantage of openings in your schedule throughout the day to greater productivity."Become a 'possibilitarian.' No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities-- Always see them, for they are always there." ~Norman Vincent Peale I'd like to invite everyone listening to the podcast to my new live, monthly Twitter conversation, Productivity Chat or prodchat.
