Beyond Time Management with Saket Khanna: Part 1, 2 & 3

A quick summary of what we discussed:

- the importance of a vision (where do you want to go? Then you can decide the path)

- Power of 1%: Move in small, comfortable, baby steps. Trust your inner guide. Seek mentors. Don’t try to do it all at once. Have fun on the journey.

- Pomodoro: 25 minutes focused time to power through tough tasks, and to do what’s important before it becomes urgent

- Delegation: motivate/Train/set clear expectations (SMART Goals)

- The importance of saying no. Doing what’s important before it becomes urgent. Fail fast / fail forward. 

- An inspiring morning routine


To-dos before we meet next week (if you can’t do it, don’t stress)

- Put up your visions in your areas of focus up where you can see it each morning! Use bright Colors or big letters if you can. It’s ok to have fun!

- Set aside a time in the morning to welcome the day. Enjoy a beautiful story / talk by Nithya / or whatever boosts you. Then over your favourite hot beverage: set your vision for the day (see examples), consider what’s a 1% improvement you can make today in any one area. More ideas are welcome, but don’t push too hard, any one idea is good. Block time for your most burning issues, and if you have time still, then set aside 1-2 pomodoro msg for future important tasks.

- Download the todo app by Microsoft (or any other app you prefer is fine. But get a clean start - with no previous todos). Create the following lists in the app: 

- inbox 

- Next items

- Waiting

- Tickler 

- Projects 

- Reference
