Getting Things Done

Kerry Gleeson, author of The Personal Efficiency Programme, indicates ways of getting things done both quickly and effectively. Methods include:

Filing systems that create three benefits - working order, reference systems, archive material. If the information needed can be retrieved from computer or website sources, then bin the paperwork.

Project management that is created by to-do lists, deadlines and monitoring methods.

Avoid procrastination that eats up time. Act fast and answer quickly.

Purge clutter, clear space and, when necessary, turn off the phone to create time.
