Last week I realized that my stress was yet again due to being behind on my work and not having a plan for how to deal with it or how to do better. When this happens, I usually fall back on AF1. This time, however, I decided to try DIT.
The reason I chose DIT is because the way of working the list sounds very close to how the person in the article, The Three Types of Urgent ( http://markforster.squarespace.com/blog/2006/9/9/three-types-of-urgent.html ), might work. This is my favorite article that Mark has written and years ago I have made it a personal goal to be like the person in the article.
Anyway, to make a long story short, on May 3rd, I started DIT with a backlog of twenty-nine items. As of the writing of this post, all items in my task diary since May 3rd AND my backlog are complete.
This is not a situation or feeling that I am accustomed to. Based on another great article, now the question is: "What can be done now?"
So should I start working on my project list or on my list for tomorrow?
Thanks for a great system Mark and for all the wisdom! I hope that you are doing well!
