Still working on the personal TM system.
I’m aiming for something all-encompassing, in the sense that it covers (a) mundane stuff I need to do, as well as (b) my grand plans.
The system probably ends up as a combination of a notebook and this blog.
The notebook is for jotting down stuff when I don’t have convenient access to a computer; and stating the specific plans & tasks for each day. The blog is for setting goals and planning and logging progress and also storing resources.
Notebook and blog will have a symbiotic relationship. Stuff in the notebook can get loaded onto the blog, and the blog can also have stuff printed out and shifted onto the notebook.
There. Sounds good, doesn’t it.
Now, substance-wise, the big goals need to be broken down into smaller and smaller chunks, until they can be converted into a specific task for a day. This is quite key.
Goals with a more distant deadline (eg end of next year) need to be systematically chunked down (eg into subgoals to be accomplished in six months, three months, one month, this week, and finally today).
Okay. Let’s try it.
