Organise is one of the 3 steps of a productivity system called COD which stands for (C)ollect, Organise and (D)o.
During this process, you, as an individual, have to organise things that you have collected and what it means to you. Those will be tasks, ideas for projects, goals and your appointments of events. All of these will go to their appropriate place.
While organising, you should/could follow a simple workflow
- What is it? (email, task, event)
- What do I need to do (what it actually wants from me)
- When do I need to do
- Where does it go (where should I store that information)
It is important to do this at the end of your day, because some of the tasks, that you collected may no longer be relevant anymore or they have sorted themselves out. Also, organising should be kept to a minimum.
