Let’s preface this entire concept. I am not suggesting you use any of these products. I am not suggesting you spend money. I am suggesting that in this digital world we live in that you evaluate for yourself if you are productive and efficient enough to be successful in your business. If you are not then perhaps you need a system in place to assist and by the way a notepad and pen with a way to organize it all may be the best system for you.

NO SYSTEM OR PRODUCT WILL WORK UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND IT AND USE IT

Time Management Laws:

<aside> ☘️ Murphy’s Law = “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong”

• Lesson = this law makes you always think of the worst, pushes you to anticipate potential problems and to reflect on solutions to limit them, or indeed eliminate them. </aside>

<aside> ☘️ Parento Principle = Also known under the name the 20-80 law, the Pareto principle says that 80% of the effects are the product of 20% of the causes.  Invented at the start of the 20th century by Wilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist, this principle is verified in a number of domains, and particularly project management.

• Lesson =  you should take another look at your priorities, concentrate on the most important tasks and delegate the secondary tasks. Do not hesitate to stop the projects that are not profitable and are making you waste time as well as human and financial resources. </aside>

<aside> ☘️ Parkinson’ Law = “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” In a nutshell, the more time we have to complete a task, the more time this task will take.

• set reasonable and realistic deadlines for the accomplishment of your tasks and make regular points to follow progress. </aside>

<aside> ☘️ Carlson’s Law = all interrupted work will be less effective and will take more time than if it was completed in a continuous manner.

• reduce interruptions as much as possible. Only consult your emails twice a day, avoid multitasking, start a task and finish it before passing onto the next one, and isolate yourself to work as soon as possible. </aside>

Some interesting Ideas

<aside> ☘️ the ikea effect

• The IKEA effect is a cognitive bias that causes people to value products they partially create more than identical products created by others. The name comes from the Swedish furniture company IKEA, which sells many items that require assembly. </aside>

<aside> ☘️ maslows hammer

• The law of the instrument, law of the hammer, Maslow's hammer, or golden hammer is a cognitive bias that involves an over-reliance on a familiar tool. Abraham Maslow wrote in 1966, "If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail." </aside>
