Productivity System
Most people have probably heard of some of the productivity system s out there and many may have been tempted to implement one in their lives. A productivity system (such as David Allen’s Getting Things Done) is a packaged organisational method that offers a streamlined concept for keeping track of all tasks, actions, appointments and memos. They offer a structured way to get organised and some people find them very helpful.
Before you adopt one though, it is important to carefully analyse your individual workload, environment and personality. While many systems can be tweaked to meet individual needs, a productivity system can be more work than help if its maintenance chaffs against your personality or if you simply don’t have enough commitments to justify one.
