The Weekly Hour-of-Power
23/01/2010
What could we be doing in the 'Weekly Hour-of-Power'? (Participants on my first Time Management workshops will notice that I've bumped up the half-hour-of-power to an hour-of-power. This is because the tasks to be done in this hour have increased since I first started sharing the concept.) Here's what I'd recommend, based on combining the work of David Allen, Stephen Covey, Roger Merrill, Claus Moeler (TMI) et al.
- Prepare your 'Week Ahead Overview'
- Review all open 'Next Physical Action Lists/Manifests'
- Review all open 'Project Lists/Manifests'
- Book in all Mortguaged Time (ie existing time specific commitments or day dependent tasks)
- Bung in some Rocks - by scheduling a realistic amount into time you've 'taken' for them.
In time, I believe you'll be able to get far more proactive with placing 'First Things First' (the Rocks) over and above the Pebbles. How? By using a monthly 'Hour-of-Power' to plan sufficiently far ahead to put the rocks first place.
