This is the third post of the "Daily Dozen", a series inspired by John Maxwell’s book Today Matters, on how I’ve applied the “Daily Dozen” to my daily routine.
“Priorities: Determine and ACT on important priorities daily.”
I’m a fanatic GTD’er, and I have fallen off the wagon almost as often as I have gotten back on. This chapter completely reinforces the concepts my favorite productivity experts Stephen Covey, David Allen and, Sally McGhee.
During my weekly review, I place my “BIG ROCKS” on my calendar, limiting myself to only a few per day. “BIG ROCKS” are the major things you want to get done this week. Every morning I review what’s on my plate for the day, looking at my calendar, then my task list. Some days my eyes are bigger than my stomach, days I list twenty things that I need to accomplish for the day – setting myself up for failure. It’s sad that it took me a while to realize this! We cannot do everything.
