Prioritization - The 30 Day File

October 29, 9:34 PM

Ok, You have started using GTD. You  have 43 Folders in the desk drawer file cabinet. You are still inundated by requests for your time - all of which are urgent. Try the 30 day file approach. It could be a bit dangerous - but that's up to you.

  • Step 1 - When you get a request for some activity or task, date it and file it in your 30 day file.
  • Step 2 - If at the end of 30 days no one has gotten back to you on this item - trash it.
  • Step 3 - If your boss asks you how it's coming - say "Great", pull it out of the file and move it to your active stack.

Try it. It works!
