It was ok in broad terms – but it didn’t actully help me minute to minute.Same with the abc 123 priority systems Some was important some not.Priority manager – required me to use a very specific set of tools – and some times it wasn’t clear to me what my priorities actually were a week ahead of time. A jumbled list of stuff – some of which was clear actions – some was just vague reminders. None of what we’re about to go through together comes from any natural ability on my part.I have done what probably most of you have:To do listsDaytimerPriority managerAbc 123 priority settingNothing seemed to quite nail it for me – or at least stick around very long.There were flaws in all of the plansTo do lists – didn’t organize me – they just depressed me.
There it is – that’s my structure score.It’s not out of 20 – it’s from 1 to 99So you’re in good company. A birkman component called “Structure” = measures organization and orderliness.The ability or willingness to deal with details, follow plans and finish tasks – use a systematized approach.Now I know – if you came to this session – you either are really good at this and want to gloat at the rest of us or…You’re like me. 
IronyLet me start with a personal introduction and confession.I want to give you one technical slide during this workshop – ready… it has some “Birkman” language on it – so brace yourself. Call Sean re member of training committee. – Call Sean re member of training committee Things that I can do Friday afternoon or on a lazy Sunday morning.Get stuff out of your brain and onto paper This context can be very handy in between two meetings or when driving a car.Īnything I need to discuss with my manager when we have time together.Īnything I need to discuss or inform about the next time we are all in the same room.Īny emails or delegated actions that are critical enough to warrant my time ensuring that it has been answered or done. All of my next actions viewed in one place. This is both a mindset context and a physical context.Īnything private that can be done anywhere.Īnything that I need to be physically at home to get done.Īnything that I need to be physically at the cabin to get done. I use a context called Work for everything work-related, independently of where I decide to work.īe aware that since Todoist does not have Next Action or energy levels defined as separate items in the software, you will have use Labels for this.Īnything work related that does not involve having to meet with other people. This enables me to sort out the type of work I can do when flying with no access to WIFI.Ī context can also be a mental state or role. #Organizeme and gtd Offline#
In periods when I travel a lot, I will have flight or offline as a context.
It can also be useful to define important tools like computer or internet as a context. Because contexts have to be tailored to both the way you function as a person and the nature of your work, this is maybe the area where you will have to adjust your Todoist GTD setup the most.
Some things can only be decided at the next department meeting or the next time you have sit-down time with your boss or customer. Some types of work can only be done at the office or at home. It can be the physical place you need to be. I define contexts as something both physical and mental. Used correctly they can multiply your productivity and turbocharge the way you work. (Please be aware that in order to use Labels, you must have a Todoist premium account.)Ĭontexts are maybe one of the most useful features in Getting Things Done.
