In this third #bendevtip post in a row about time management, it’s time to describe further, “Write what you need to do down.”" "" "For every “thing” I need to do that’ll take me more than two minutes, I write it down somewhere. That’s typically in the Things app, which was inspired by Paul Allen’s book: Getting Things Done — which has some great productivity tips!" "" "Furthermore, for any piece of work or anything that I need to respond to but that I can’t at that moment, I strategically snooze to a time I know I’ll be able to. For example, I snooze many work emails each day for 8 am the next morning — that’s when I start my day and is a quiet period before my meetings start where I can take time to respond to various things. " "" "Similarly, in Slack: if I receive some messages that I know are important, I’ll quickly read them to see if I can (or need) to respond immediately, and I snooze the message to the best time for me if I don’t. " "" "This is the heart of my productivity system: Use snooze functionalities often, write everything down into the Things app — which also has snooze functionality, and schedule response times in my day to clear my “snoozed queue” #bendevtip
