Hi Stephen, I’m glad you liked it. Let me know how it works for you.

Hi Chris, you make a good point. Some times we just need to connect with the feelings, allow them to be there, but not act on them.

Thanks for this — one thing I’d add is that I find it helpful, when I’m feeling the burning urge to multitask, to just breathe and sit with that urge, without doing anything about it. If I do that, that yearning passes away, and it suddenly feels more manageable and like I don’t have to let it run my life.

Hi Karen, let me know how your experimentation goes.

Hi Positively Present, simple solutions are usually the best.

Hi Karen, sometimes we get too caught up with too much planning. We just need to break it down and try to do one thing at a time.

Hi Drew, yes. I can see how that would be a little confusing. The one next thing list is just for that next thing then after it’s done I strike it out and decide what is the next most important task. All the other things that pop into my head goes on my master list, so I won’t forget it.

Hi Marelisa, sometimes we get too caught up in trying to do too much. We just need to do what is “doable” in that day and try to do the other stuff tomorrow.

He, he, he, I see my name in your blog post That’s an excellent strategy. I find that sometimes I feel that I have a million things to do, but if I take out an index card and write down what I need to do, I realize it’s doable after all.

Great idea. I think the key to productivity is keeping things simple.

A quick clarification–Do you put more than one item on your 1 Next Thing list or were you just sharing examples of previous 1 Next Thing tasks you’ve done? I think what you’re saying is that there’s only “1 Next Thing”, anything else goes on your master task list. Correct?
