My experience with ZTD week 3 : 6% success (94% failure !)

Pasture Juniper  (Juniperus communis ssp. depressa)

This is the report #3 of my experimental implementation of  Zen To Done the productivity methodology by Leo Babauta.

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) , during week #2, it has been 47% (9/19).

Here're the results of week #3 :

Here are the results:

Day Did I define 3 MITs? How many achieved?
Week Yes 0/3
January 30th Yes 0/3
January 31st Yes 1/3
February 1st No -
February 2nd No -
February 3rd No -
Total Defined 2 days 1/18

What are my conclusions?

  • 1/18  is a very poor result.
  • In fact during this week I did not use ZTD. I did not take time to define 3 MITs everyday.
  • By the way, I did achieve a lot of things during this week but without planning them.
  • As a consequence, my achievements are not the most important ones, so it's not a so good result.
  • I need to improve my routine when I'm travelling to make sure I define the 3 MITs before starting my day

For the new coming week, my objective is to continue the implementation of this new habit, with a better result (which will not be so difficult)  !
