GETTING THINGS DONE GTD
Getting Things Done (GTD) is a methodology by David Allen
devised to help organise and manage time.
5 Steps process to GTD:
Collect : Find scraps of paper and receipts and write tasks
down
Process : Regularly review tasks, Work through in the order
they appear and decide if you complete the task? Or whether you can you
delegate.
Organise : Add tasks to a checklist to keep things organised
Review : Review your checklists as often as you need to in
order to keep your mind clear.
Do : finish your tasks as they arise
COPE TECHNIQUE
Developed by productivity expert Peggy Duncan.
C : Clear Goals,
O : Organise everything,
P : Prioritise tasks, and
E : Efficiently finish priority tasks.
A-B-C METHOD
Grouping tasks into categories is similar to the Eisenhower method. Take your to-do list and assign it to an appropriate category and then prioritise tasks with numbers.
A : important and urgent
B : important but not urgent
C : not important and not urgent
SMART METHOD
SMART is an acronym that you can use to guide your goal
setting.
To make sure your goals are clear and reachable, each one
should be:
Specific (simple, sensible, significant).
Measurable (meaningful, motivating).
Achievable (agreed, attainable).
Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced,
results-based).
Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited,
timely, time-sensitive).
PARETO METHOD
The Pareto principle was a theory by Vilfredo Pareto which
is now a popular concept of personal time management.
He was an economist who theorized that 80 percent of all the
problems that people encounter results from 20 percent of all causes.
