Episode notes
Backlog Example
- David Allen gives the example of an office closet pile representing backlog.
- Meg Edwards suggests identifying, not necessarily processing, such backlogs during the Weekly Review.
Inbox Processing
- Allocate a specific time for processing inboxes (paper, email, voicemail) outside the Weekly Review.
- If it takes 1-2 hours, schedule it; if it's more, reassess your workflow.
Strategic Mind Sweep
- Empty your head strategically during the Weekly Review, focusing on nagging or procrastinated tasks.
- Use specific questions to guide your mind sweep instead of capturing every single thought.
