Getting Things Done LinkedIn Module
This LinkedIn learning course has taught me how to effectively get things done. David Allen, the instructor of this course, explains that the biggest mistake is to come up with ideas and store them in your brain. I make this mistake on a daily basis because making mental notes of what I need to do throughout the day is not effective. I end up forgetting what tasks need to be done, and they stay incomplete until I remember later on. I’ve learned that I should write things down either in my notes app or on a piece of paper. When creating tasks, I’ve learned that I need to assign meaning and decide if there are any actionable steps that need to be taken. Actions also need to be organized by putting them on a calendar. Lastly, I should review my organized list every week, so I have time to reflect on my progress, clean up, and catch up on any projects I am behind in.
