Ideas from Another.
“Block off the first hour of every Monday to organize your todo list. Turn off instant messenger, close e-mail and silence your phone. You need absolute silence so you can focus.” – Ryan Carson, Think Vitamin.
I really appreciate hearing other people’s ideas on how to stay organized and on top of your To Do list. I don’t know if it’s me being interested in different processes, or having a strange desire to know how others think, or an internal quest to improve the processes in my own life…
Even though they might not all work for me, it’s infinitely interesting to see, hear about, or even try someone else’s process. Who knows, the slightest tweak to your way might be a perfect fit for my lifestyle and workflow. To me, it’s worth a shot to come up with the perfect solution because in a geeky way, it’s a rush to know I’ve got it right…
It occurs to me that this is also what’s appealing about web apps and development. Many apps are a variation of what’s been done before, and those slight adjustments can make all the difference to one user… giving them that same rush of satisfaction.
Invigorating, isn’t it?
