summarizing what I took from the book "checklist manifesto" in appreciation of user @Wilson Ng

[TimBourne]

I tried uploading an mp4 , sort of summarizing what I took from the book "checklist manifesto" in appreciation of user @Wilson Ng .

[https://www.facebook.com/timothy.bourner.3/videos/469809912747908/]


In conclusion actually felt as if wasn't able take that much from the book.

"it enumerated more on the idea of problem which I feel have reading information, being in period right now - where don't have next book on my list? '

 

[Wilson Ng]

Every time I read a book, I absorb what is useful. I will often wait a few months and read it again. I might find something else to understand. It is like the Bible. It's not easy to read. It will take multiple reads to understand a lesson from the verses I read.

Oh right
you have a set technique? - was maybe part of uploading this - you understand ? "

I might find something else to understand.

Like what?

It is like the Bible. It's not easy to read. It will take multiple reads to understand a lesson from the verses I read.

are you suggesting I read it again
or - wroth just try go through a different other book review of it online?

 

[Wilson Ng]

Wait a few months. Then read it again if you feel like it. You might see something in the text that you didn't understand the first time.

Or go to Youtube and search for "Checklist Manifesto". Everybody has a different way of learning. Some prefer to watch videos to learn. Some prefer to read to learn. You will find your own preference.

Here were my personal takeaways from that book:

• Following a checklist can help prevent mistakes.
• If I have a process that I do frequently, then I should consider making a checklist for it.
• My memory is fallible but a checklist will help me remember all the steps.
• Checklists should be easily accessible from where and when I need them.
• Checklists should be updated when improvements are discovered.

After reading the book, I created the following checklists:

• packing checklist.
• cleaning checklist.
• weekly review checklist.
• things to keep in stock checklist (from which I prepare my shopping [check]list each week.
• Any process that I do in work, like deploying some software, testing software is working correctly or setting up a computer. These checklists later acted as the requirements documents for automating those processes.
• My business accounts.

Checklists are mentioned in passing GTD but I didn't find any substantial guidance on how to use them. Following the advice from this book gave me some ideas how to do that.

@cfoley

Thank you for posting your very helpful and useful checklist examples

As such, thanking for helping to think on this end:
"Check List" are simply easier, superior, and more reliable on many levels than "Check Remembering" ?

Thank you very much sir

Hi, Tim.

Nathan Lozeron of Productivity Game does reviews of productivity books, and his reviews are done with drawings. You mentioned once that drawing stimulates memory, so this might interest you.

Nathan Lozeron reviewed David Allen's updated edition of the GTD book. Here is a link to that video:

Nathan Lozeron also reviewed The Checklist Manifesto by Dr. Atul Gawande. Here is a link to that video:

Right - its worth I schedule this on list manger?

Or go to Youtube and search for "Checklist Manifesto".

You already - shared 1 video, which I went through and felt was limited by what I took "

Everybody has a different way of learning. Some prefer to watch videos to learn. Some prefer to read to learn. You will find your own preference.

I prefer summaries "

right

• If I have a process that I do frequently, then I should consider making a checklist for it.

like a weekly review?

• My memory is fallible but a checklist will help me remember all the steps.

especially for me

• Checklists should be easily accessible from where and when I need them.
• Checklists should be updated when improvements are discovered.

...

After reading the book, I created the following checklists:

• packing checklist.

I don't normally pack things?

• cleaning checklist.

at home?

• weekly review checklist.

I could add this to my list manager?

• things to keep in stock checklist (from which I prepare my shopping [check]list each week.
• Any process that I do in work, like deploying some software, testing software is working correctly or setting up a computer. These checklists later acted as the requirements documents for automating those processes.
• My business accounts.

Hi, Emily.

Timothy Bourner

left transcribe "I recently re read the GTD book. have you ever been in a situation - where things to do over whelmed your mind. if you used these tools , maybe have felt stupid - brain is not...

www.facebook.com

I left a comment on the video, a transcribe.

https://www.youtube.com/?feature=fb...n6R3FgDyEULWP2vbkA_aem_YJ-2fe4tysibHyCNMEC7_w "

words were:
even though watching that once through - I feel like personally I wasn't able take everything in, cognise everything he shared in the video , just going once though (so should I re watch?

the creator Nathan - sounded like he was more advanced in the GTD process then myself.
explaining the whole system from scratch - should as how to process, the three habits and so forth.
and its a fact - that I'm not even properly implementing the summary info he shared in this video fully.

Or P.S.
background:

should I download use that 1 page summary he shared?



or How come I didn't choose to - go through this video when first shared it - it is something which directly influences, is entirely appropriate for myself

with the second link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aD8WG49PY4
I left another transcribe , similar to previous one .
after - I watched first two minutes of it I believe, when you first made this post.

made me think, going through the whole video, at the end there was actually tips on "what makes a good checklist" or tip on how to try do. them yourself - but, when actually going through the paper back myself , I didn't cognise this information with @Wilson Ng .

made me think, maybe it could help if I bumped my two posts here to @gtdstudente or @cfoley .
if they had anything to add (about my problem) .



I should be able - create task also have it sync on google.

Or overall with myself.
I feel myself with this forum is not the best .

Specifically with one main thing : myself keeping to deadlines or schedules or lists.
With symptoms of learning disorder ADHD @FocusGuy "

STN?

One thing you mentioned was not being able to take in everything from a single watch through. This is something that everyone struggles with to a greater or lesser extent. The trick is to just get started. Apply what you already know and include the things that you did pick up. Like any skill, you won't be expert or proficient at first. That's OK. As time goes on you will become more proficient and that is when you would benefit from looking for further information.

Right OK

Apply what you already know and include the things that you did pick up.

I wasn't able to pick up 100%

Like any skill, you won't be expert or proficient at first. That's OK.

As time goes on you will become more proficient and that is when you would benefit from looking for further information.

...
was going to write - and well that's OK that I wasn't?

but at same time I personally feel like a mess and I'm not at the level, could be compared to people who were able to successfully implement a system such as @FocusGuy '

s ?

 

[cfoley]

I understand. It is so easy to compare ourselves to others and feel down that we cannot currently do what they can. I do that all the time, but what I have found to be healthier is to treat those people as role models. You are complete and whole just the way you are. If you choose to, then you can build habits over time to become more like your role models. But if you choose not to, that's OK as well.

I can see that you are in awe of @FocusGuy's ability to put together a system. Now, I have never met him in person but I can see from his posts on here that he is always experimenting. Sometimes he is trying some new software, sometimes trying paper instead, sometimes a new way of working. After each experiment, he reflects on what he learned and incorporates the best parts into his way of working.

I am sure that this experimenting is the key to him developing his skills. He didn't wait until he perfectly understood how to put together a system. He went ahead and tried it with incomplete information and understanding, found some benefits and some pain points and then ran some experiments to solve the pain points. If you were to ask him, I bet that he would say that he is still developing his understanding of productivity and GTD.

Here is a short piece about ideas and execution. I think it is intended for business ideas but I think it applies equally to information vs execution when learning skills: https://sive.rs/multiply

Excellent videos, thank you for sharing them. The first one from Lozeron is for me the best visual I have ever seen describing simply what is GTD. Merci

Hi @cfoley
Thank you for these kinds words ;-) It is absolutly that ! I work with a << kaizen >> approach. You perfectly understood how I experiment and how I incorporated what i learned into my system. I also learn a lot from you all. Reading your posts give me ideas and process i also incorporate into my system. At last, I do the same in business. When i feel something good i do it immediatly if i can. Sometime it it a deasaster sometime a great success. It is very difficult to understand how and why we make and like doing things. It is a discovery of ourselves. Sometime it can take a all life.

right- is that the best way of doing things?

I am sure that this experimenting is the key to him developing his skills.

The link attached - shows a type of website style never seen before - which makes me think something like word press
showing the audio recording , and then like a transcript of his audio afterwards, in the recording the person is talking sharing about business and ideas?
