5 Tips and 5 Tools to Getting Things Done
Thank you to everyone who joined our Whiteboard Session last week. For those of you who could not make it, here are a few key ideas from the group.
TIPS
- Write Daily
- Read “43 Folders” –> suggestions on organizing your daily life
- Rewrite your biz plan often — become reconvicted as to your WHY
- Master workflow –> collect, process, and organize (and Review Daily & Weekly)
- Block Scheduling –> block out your time for the next month or more
TOOLS
- Mind Mapping –> MindManager software (from MindJet)
- Evernote –> enter notes and tag them (Free or $50/yr for unlimited data transfer)
- GMail for searching and categorizing, etc.
- Tungle meeting software –> good for getting meetings set up without a lot of admin
- Hipster PDA (aka “the Poor Man’s Moleskin”)

Brooke – Thanks for capturing this. I’m not a fan of the rewrite your biz plan often tip. I wanted to dive into that topic more during the session but didn’t. What do you think was meant by this suggested tip?

I think that was referring to the consistent and often review of your business plan – not necessarily rewriting it each time. However, if you review it often, then you most likely will have ideas that you want to change or update.

Thanks for posting this, I was only familiar with about half of the tools you’ve suggested.
