1-Page Summary of Organize Tomorrow Today
Overview
What makes people successful? Is it natural talent or an advantage in life? No. Successful people come from all walks of life and have different backgrounds, but they do share a common trait: They all possess habits that make them successful.
So what exactly are successful habits? And how do you get them, too? This section will explain the eight ways to retrain your mind and change for the better. Even focusing on one new habit will help you go the distance when it comes to becoming more focused and productive. In this section, you’ll learn why being abnormal is preferable to being normal; how multitasking is just a ruse to pretending you’re productive; and how establishing a ritual can help turn good behaviors into habits.
Big Idea #1: It’s just not productive to focus on more than one goal at a time if you want positive results.
Have you ever felt the need to make a positive change in your life? Maybe you’ve already made a list of all the small things you’d like to alter, but making a long list isn’t the most effective way to go about making improvements. Why is that? It’s because our working memory can only hold 5-9 pieces of information at any given time. This was first identified by psychologist George A. Miller in 1956. No matter what we’re looking at, whether it’s words or colors or numbers, our working memory can only store so much data from moment to moment and has no ability to recall past memories when trying to solve new problems.
That said, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when you try to do too many things at once. This also applies when you’re trying to change too much about your life all at the same time.
When you try to do too many things at once, your brain can get overloaded with information. This can lead to mistakes and make it impossible for you to focus on one thing. It’s like a computer freezing when there are too many programs running at the same time.
The author has seen many people struggle with change. They try to make too many changes at once, and they get stuck. However, when they focus on one thing at a time, the results are amazing.
If you want to get better results, the best thing is to change one thing at a time.
Big Idea #2: Prioritizing tasks and organizing tomorrow is the key to better time management and productivity.
A frantic rush from one task to the next or multitasking are signs of poor time management skills.
The secret to being productive tomorrow is to organize it today.
Organizing effectively means prioritizing your tasks by making a list of the three most important things you want to achieve. Be sure as well to include the time needed to accomplish these tasks.
Then, from your three tasks, pick out the one that absolutely needs to be done today.
In order to accomplish your goals, you should focus on what’s most important. By doing that, you’re less likely to forget about a goal or put it off because of an easier one.
By focusing on just three tasks, you’ll be able to accomplish all your stated goals. This will give you more confidence in yourself.
