I’ve just started.
Please give me your BEST tip for helping me get started and not getting too overwhelmed.
Got the book and making my way through, implementing some bits as I go. Making lists of things and emptying my head of someday/maybe things.
Feeling swamped (but also relieved) at the amount of things I’ve emptied from my brain but seems an uphill battle to get through.
My MAIN challenge in embedding it is that I run my own business and sub-contract to clients remotely (from around the country), where I have to log in to THEIR systems to use their calendar for appointments.
This leaves me with my OWN calendar for my own ‘stuff’ and a CLIENT calendar so I have to duplicate stuff which sucks.
I’m figuring I ’could’ use the client system (Outlook), and make all my own stuff “Private” but when that contract ends, I lose my stuff.
At present I’m not sure what system will suit me best or have the least double ups, so I’m hybrid - using a ‘master’ paper diary for appts and time/date specific but also entering tasks/subtasks in Toodledo as that’s what I’ve used before (but just not efficiently with contexts or subtasks).
I feel like I’ve got a LOT of stuff going on and a LOT of stuff to do.
Is this a ‘normal’ way to start - does it feel easier when you get going?
Your BEST tip for getting started and building a system would be appreciated, especially if you have
Thanks
