The focus on other activities we were doing is lost, which is the real problem that we have solved.īut how about another strategy, that we simply use our inbox as our task list? The problem of this approach is two-fold. If we didn't have the inbox, we need to spend efforts thinking about how the task relates to us immediately.
It saves us time by keeping us focused on what we were doing, at the time when we first dream up of the task. So it doesn't seem like the inbox saved us any time! But next, when we talk about our daily review, we just have to think about all the necessary details of the task. We say that setting up a task is too hard, so we use the inbox. The couple of minutes setting it up definitely worth it! Recap: the function of the inboxīefore we go on to understand contexts further, let's step back a little and think about what we have done. But after a couple of minutes setting it up, the task will be created all by itself. You probably find setting up a repeating task a bit a hassle. Recall that inbox contains tasks which are waiting for us to fill their details. When we're back at inbox, we'll see that the task is removed. Don't forget to set the task to have status Next Action, and save it. This makes us much more able to tolerate others who are late in meetings! (BTW, I find it works better for me if I change to as the context is that I'm at the office location I want to "work" at home at times.)įor now, choose Picking up letters requires us to go out of our apartment, and we probably want to do it together with other activities that also requires planning a short excursion. When we have a few moments at office (perhaps waiting for a meeting about to start), we can review all tasks marked as and we will have an array of things to do to make good use of the "few moments". Select Plan and follow the instructions to complete payment.These defaults are not arbitrary: most people need these few contexts! A context means the scenario when we can perform the task: when we go out (run the errands), when we're at home, when we're at work, etc. Search under courses or use this direct link for the workbook study group course: If you're not already a member, sign up at.
