My experience with ZTD week 2 : 47% success
As I've explained in a previous post, I've decided to use Zen To Done productivity methodology by Leo Babauta.
This is the feedback after 2 weeks.
As a reminder, the first habit I've decided to implement is to define every morning the 3 Most Important Topics (MITs) I want / need / commit to achieve during the day.
During week #1, the success rate has been 52 % (11/21)
Here're the results of week #2 :
Here are the results:
| Day | Did I define 3 MITs? | How many achieved? |
|---|---|---|
| Week | Yes | 1/3 |
| January 23th | Yes | 3/3 |
| January 24th | Yes | 2/3 |
| January 25th | Yes (4) | 2/4 |
| January 26th | Yes | 1/3 |
| January 27th | No | 0/3 |
| Total | Defined 4 days | 9/19 |
What are my conclusions?
- 9/19 is a poor result. It's even worse than last week (11/21). I’ve clearly over committed to myself during that week. Like last week there’s 1 specific MIT that I've pushed from day 1 to day 5 that made me loose 5 points.
- I did not defined the MITs on friday as my work day started at 6am.
- Even if the numbers are quite bad, I'm happy with this week. It was a VERY busy week, and defining 3 MITs everyday really helped me to keep control. I'm still happy with my new way to use todo system nirvanahq (I've removed all project, and used 1 simple list)
For the new coming week, my objective is to continue the implementation of this new habit, with a better result !
