Develop a system to get more done in the same eight-hour day by blending Fraenkel planner, Getting Things Done, Covey, and Pomodoro for time for exercise, family, and reading.
The origins of my system3:31
Visualize all life responsibilities in a single system using mind mapping and the Kanban method to prioritize what's most important, separating work, home, and career for stress-free productivity.

Discover how online mind mapping tools and physical tools centralize tasks, plan your week around the most important things, and offload everything else from your head.
Planning your week1:05
Plan week by week by updating your to-do list and mind map, then prioritize tasks and move them on a Kanban board from not started to in progress to finished.
Building your first kanban board5:35
Build your personal kanban board to organize tasks, using columns like this week and today, with customizable categories, estimates, and capacity to reduce multitasking and boost productivity.
Queue replenishment4:19
Populate the kanban board with prioritized weekly tasks, from inviting keynote speakers to running a 20k, meditating daily, and updating the website, while using color-coded queues to balance work.
Planning your day2:44
Plan your day with a Kanban approach, choosing from a 35-task list based on energy, engagement, and time constraints, and prioritize daily rituals like meditation and inbox zero.
Doing the work7:32
Use the Pomodoro technique to focus on one task for 25 minutes, with 5-minute breaks, while prioritizing inbox zero and limiting daily tasks to eight.
Dealing with interruptions2:22
Handle interruptions by acting immediately on quick questions and applying the two-minute rule. Use a calendar, kanban board, and mind map to plan today, this week, and beyond.
Conclusion1:52
Distill productivity into three simple steps: create a mind map for weekly planning, write a short weekly goal list, and daily work through a subset with the Pomodoro Technique. This stress-free system keeps you advancing goals across work, family, and life without overloading your week.

Description

Over two decades I developed a simple system for managing three companies, two conferences, writing a book, and still have time for myself and my family. When I first described it on Quora, the post quickly became the most popular productivity post on the site. It was chosen for syndication on the Forbes blog. The feedback I received was tremendous. In this course, I'll walk you through each step of the system so that you, too, will be able to organize a complex life in just minutes a week to make the best possible use of your time, without feeling busy.
