The Get Things Done book

31/7/2024

0 Comments

 
Just finished “The Get Things Done” book by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler. What I loved about it:

1️⃣ It’s not just another book to “help you be more productive” but more to help you focus on what is more meaningful and important to you, as well as what can create more value for you and others.

2️⃣ It’s full of practical tips that you can try out straight away and implement in your daily work or personal life.

For example, I loved the 5-25 rule which helps you answer the following questions:

1. Have I fulfilled my potential?
2. Have I spent my life doing something I love?
3. Have I got my priorities right?

What you need to do is write down 25 things you want to achieve. Then pick only 5 and strikethrough the rest. Now focus on those 5! We can’t do everything.

You can use this for life plans or year long work plans etc. It helps you prioritize what you really want to achieve and work on.

Thoroughly recommend for anyone looking to see how they can do things differently and more effectively.

Obsidian & Linking Your Thinking

I just finished Nick Milo's (Founder of Linking Your Thinking) 6-lesson course on Ideaverse for Obsidian.

For those who might not know, Obsidian is an amazing tool to note take or "note-make". It is a platform that allows you to "sharpen or link" your thinking through tags and links, but more importantly (or more interestingly) it allows you to visualise your thoughts on a graph view (see image attached!)

This already has allowed me to unlock hidden or forgotten insights from over 5 years of notes that I imported to it over the past month or so. My next goal is to add notes that span over the past 10-15 and see where it goes. :)

Some other benefits to Obsidian - all notes are saved as markdown files, they are safe, easily exportable, and are saved as .md folders/files on your computer - you can also use sync to link with an app on your phone or tablet. If anyone's interested, I'm happy to share more.
