Increase Productivity by Going Back to the Basics
Too much to do, too little time? Feeling overwhelmed and stressed? Go back to the basics by writing out a simple checklist. It will change your life.
Simplicity at its best: The checklist is one of the
world’s oldest―and most effective―productivity systems. If anything,
author and entrepreneur Alexandra Franzen shares, it is just as valuable
now as it was during the days of the Roman Empire. Writing out a simple
checklist allows us to tangibly plan our day and set in stone what we
want to accomplish.
Cut out unnecessary noise: There
are countless apps and organizational systems out there to help us
straighten out our lives, but often they only add to the madness. Trying
to keep up leaves us feeling drained and overwhelmed. Learn how to
choose your highest priorities, set realistic goals, celebrate tiny
wins, and feel calmer every day with the magic of checklists.
Be realistic about the time in a day: By
physically writing down our tasks on a single piece of paper, we force
ourselves to limit how much we can do in a day. Too often, we cram our
day with tasks and chores and leave almost no space for self-care or
time with loved ones. We end up disappointed in our inability to
complete our never-ending to-do list. Checklists help you plan your day
in a more gentle, realistic way. You accomplish what needs to be
done―and enjoy things you want to be doing, too.
In the life-changing Checklist Book, learn:
- The history of the checklist and why it remains to be relevant and effective today
- The
science behind the success of checklists, such as the instant
satisfaction we feel when we put a check next to a finished task
- How to create a basic daily checklist―and checklists for specific situations, like moving to a new city or navigating a divorce
