FixIt! (2); Productivity

1. 'To do' lists tend to drive the urgent, the here-and-now, the 'have-to-do's. You need a master list: that focuses on what you want to do, too.
2. Work on things as well as in them. Become fully aware of the meeting, of your writing. Once you are aware, you can improve.
3. Break big and/or daunting tasks down into ones which are time and brain friendly.
4. Regularly scan through your schedule to anticipate what is coming up.
5. Notice what takes up disproportionate  amounts of your time: you need a better system and it may be as simple as a check-list.
6. You'll need at some stage to take a walk and ask yourself what being productive actually means.
7. And it's best if you have that discusion with whoever is important in your Life.
