Rule 9 cases

Plan no more than 9 cases during the day - 1 importantly, to which you want to spend most of the time, 3 secondary, simple and very small 5.

How it works

ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE REGULATIONS FOR those who suffer from the inability to plan their affairs properly, - the so-called 1-3-5 rule. According to this rule, no more need to plan 9 cases per day. Thus, unable to perform the 4 pretty important things, and there will be time for 5 small (about which, however, do not forget) - for example, pick up dry cleaning jacket or pay bills.

Unfortunately, the composition of todo-sheets is not a panacea for those who have problems with doing things on time or their implementation at all. The difficulty may be that the list is too large or unstructured. In this case, the rule 1-3-5 - the perfect solution. There is also a similar rule 3 + 2, but by and large it is only a variation of the same way to organize your tasks and scheduled time on them (you can even create your own system: 1-2-3, 2-4-9, and so on to infinity, depending on your lifestyle and the number of cases that have to perform daily).

This rule works because it helps to set priorities and to share time intervals between the cases, depending on their importance. It also helps in the event of an unforeseen change in the daily chart, or the sudden appearance of important things easy to understand what kind of things can move, but with some time now it is not necessary.

"Today, everything seems inundated with endless lists of cases to be resolved. You wake up in the morning, start working, working, working, and at the end of the day realize that you have no idea what ultimately done for the day. You know that you have worked and performed some tasks, but it seems to have not completed anything. This is so frustrating!

Drafting endless todo-sheets only leads to even more procrastination. Why do they need them if there is no good? What is the meaning, if still have to work all day? Sound familiar? I'm struggling with it all my life. To be productive, you need to see the results of each day, must be light at the end of the tunnel, to know that in the end you will have a time that you can spend on yourself.

In the morning, you know that you need to make the case a, b, c, d, e. But then something goes wrong with the case b, and you have to spend on it a lot more time than you expected. Consequently, you can not finish the c and d, and finally feel fulfilled is not enough work. "
