场景中的实例 The mind is a great place for having ideas, not storing them. In addition to getting rid of the paper and digital clutter that’s getting in the way on your desk and computer, your brain is also filled with all kinds of clutter, usually clutter that’s making you feel really anxious and like you don’t have a handle on things. The key is to get the clutter out of your head and down on paper (either real paper or on your computer) and out of your head where it causes problems. Then you know you have it and can go back to it. In a few minutes we’re going to talk about the best strategy for dealing with “To Do” lists—for now the main point is to remember that if you get everything down on paper or on your computer, then it can stop cluttering up your brain. If I tell you to write things down, you immediately think of a “to do” list, right? And you think—I’ve done that before and it doesn’t work. It doesn’t help me manage my time any more effectively.

You need to start thinking differently about lists, starting with thinking differently about what kinds of items you’re dealing with when you make a list. Now here’s a really powerful way to get a handle on your time. It’s called the “Action Rule.” If you DO have to do something, you’re going to apply the Two-minute Rule. If it will take two minutes or less to do something, then just do it. If it will take more than two minutes, you’ll either delegate it to someone else to do, or you’ll defer it to when you’ll have more time. Alright, so we’re going to start writing down all of our “next actions” or “micro movements.” The next thing is to think about h
