To-Do List Method From BD4D

Posted May 13, 2005 —

Running a small company means you’ve got to stay organized and make sure you get things done. Staying on top of your to-do list and not letting it get out of control is key. I mean, what is a to-do list for anyway if you never get any boxes ticked.

Ryan Carson over at BD4D talks about how he handles his monthly to-do lists.

I can especially relate to the planning session he has each Sunday where he decides what he’s going to tackle each week. This gives you a plan for the week, so visible and hopefully do-able goals and a sense of accomplishment you can enjoy while sipping your Friday afternoon beer.

I do the same thing, but I also break my goals down into quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals. That sounds like a lot of work, but I’m only dealing with one “altitude” at a time.

GTD recommends using Friday afternoon to plan your next week, but Sunday night seems much more natural. Have you heard of anyone using Friday afternoons?

Chris—Friday afternoon is for chilling out, drinking beer, and relaxing. Not planning your next week. Not for me anyway. ;)
