Strategy Number Four, Use Your System to Help Set Limits

Use your system to help set limits. It's really easy for us to overburden ourselves in the world of knowledge work. If our system is up to date, that means we have a better picture of all the we have on our plate. Your system can tell you more effectively just how much you can get involved and how deep that involvement can be. You have to do regular reviews of your system depending upon the number of projects and tasks that you work on in a given week.
