All the things that you need to get done are stored all over. In your email inbox, on random
pieces of paper or in your brain. You often forget to do things. You get overwhelmed by
big tasks and overall your mind feels cluttered. If you want to be a ninja at getting things
done, you need a system. Here are some tips. First collect everything you have to do in
one place. This is a big brain dump where you can write down any task that comes to
mind. Whenever you think of something you have to do don't store it in your prefrontal
cortex. Write it down. We call this your inbox. Next, put things from your inbox into a place
where you know you will look at, at the right time. This might be your calendar, a shopping
list or in a project folder. Speaking of projects, if a task can't be done without a series of
steps then you need to turn that task into a project by brainstorming every individual
step required to complete that project. Start practicing these simple things and you'll
find that your mind is clear and you're knocking out tasks one at a time.
