Improved Productivity

 Finding and adopting good time

management and productivity systems
are good ways to boost your
productivity and get more done during
the day.
 If you are still struggling to meet your
goals or cross items off of your to-do
list, experimenting with time
management systems can be a big
help.
 Here are a few proven time
management and productivity

1. Getting Things Done
 The GTD, or Getting Things Done, system

was designed by David Allen, and uses a
five phase approach to taking control of
your life and improving your productivity.
 These five phases are:
 Collect
 Process
 Organize
 Review
 Do

1. Getting Things Done
 This plan involves focusing on control and

perspective rather than looking at priorities as
the basis for time management.
 Getting Things Done uses a workflow process,
that allows you to gain control over all of your
commitments and key tasks that need to be
accomplished.
 Perspective is obtained through six different
levels of focus that make it easier to determine
what tasks need to be focused on, and when.

2. The Pomodoro Technique
 This is a simple time-management technique that

involves the use of a Pomodoro kitchen timer to
focus on work tasks.
You set the timer for 25 minutes and spend that
time working without stops or interruptions.
You set the timer and begin to work without any
pauses for as long as the timer is ticking.
If you are interrupted, the timer stops.
There is no pausing a pomodoro session.
When the timer goes off, you take a 5 minute
break away from your work.


2. The Pomodoro Technique
 After 4 "pomodoro sessions," you take a longer

break of up to 30 minutes before continuing with
the process.
 While the timer is ticking, you should focus on
your list of tasks without any interruptions.
 There are other ways to utilize the pomodoro
technique to your advantage, including using a
worksheet to track how much work you complete
during each session, and to track notes and ideas
for things you need to do after your pomodoro
session so that you are not interrupted while the
clock is ticking.

3. Zen to Done
 Designed by the creator of Zen

Habits, ZTD is an offshoot from the
aforementioned Getting Things Done
program.
 This program captures the same
spirit of the GTD system, but with a
greater focus on simplicity. ZTD
focuses on changing one habit at a
time, rather than several at once the
way GTD does.

3. Zen to Done
 The Zen system also focuses more on

doing and structure than the original
series, which are beneficial
modifications for many people.
 Rather than trying to do too much, the
Zen system focuses on organizing and
managing time while simplifying tasks.

Which System is Right for
You?
 When it comes to time

management and productivity
systems, there is no single solution
that will work well for everyone.
 The key is to find a system that
meets your own personal needs, or
one that you can modify what it has
to offer until you have a system that
works well for you.

Which System is Right for
You?
 You may need to combine different

productivity systems until you find
comfort in a system of your own.
 It is well worthwhile to experiment with
different systems, because they may
each contain elements that appeal to
you.
 Draw out the time management and
productivity elements that successfully
improve your own organizational skills
or brainstorm your own based on what
works for you.

To Your
Continued
Success!!
