I have trouble focusing and getting the most out of a day. What has worked best for me in the past was to write out a detailed plan of the tasks I wanted to accomplish in, for instance, a four hour span, and then follow that plan to the dot. However, I don't have a timer (for my Mac) to help remind me when these times are up.
Basically, I need an alarm to go off at specific times.
For example:
I know this is perhaps a bit too structured and controlling for the general GTD philosophy, but I lack discipline and need to seriously set out detailed instructions for what/how/when I must do things.
Any suggestions for a timer/reminder would be awesome!
Basically, I need an alarm to go off at specific times.
For example:
- 9am-920: check and reply to emails (alarm goes off at 9:20... move on to next task)
- 920-940: design layout for brochure (alarm goes off at 9:40... move on to next task)
- 940-950: create list of to-do items to finish brochure and add as new GTD project (alarm goes off at 9:50... move on to next task)
- 950-10: work on first draft of marketing plan for acb company(alarm goes off at 10... move on to next task)
- 10-1010: break (alarm goes off at 10:10... break over, move on to next task)
- 1010-1030: etc etc (alarm goes off at 10:30... move on to next task)
