Learning about Mark Forster’s new time management system – Final Version

March 13, 2012 by Kate Davis 6 Comments

Example of Mark Forster's SuperFocus

In my inbox this morning was an email from Mark Forster with the details of his latest time management system, called Final Version (because it is the last one he is developing). I’ve been a fan of Mark’s since reading his first book Get Everything Done and still have time to play and I am currently using the SuperFocus system. I like Mark’s focus on simplicity, and how you can use different aspects at different Continue Reading …

How I plan my day – update April 2011

May 3, 2011 by Kate Davis Leave a Comment

Example page in my third log book

My personality means I like to learn and make improvements, this means I usually have an interest in new things (although I consider if they offer worthwhile improvements to my current methods or items before investing time or money in them). This has resulted in changes to how I plan my day since I last wrote about it in June 2007. It has actually been a gradual process for me, but compared to four years Continue Reading …

Paper versus digital organisation (part one)

April 14, 2007 by Kate Davis Leave a Comment

I like computers. I got my first computer in 1995 before going to university, when most of my friends thought I was mad not putting the money towards a car. I got my first pda in 2000 just after I finished my undergraduate degree. There are so many reasons why I like IT solutions that when I create a new system I always use a computer. However I have never found my pda (Palm Tungsten Continue Reading …

Collecting ideas for an organisation system

March 18, 2007 by Kate Davis Leave a Comment

Before Christmas things were getting busier and more hectic and I knew if I didn’t want to be stressing about my workload I had to review my system. For me, the way forward was to develop my own system incorporating ideas from other people as well as things that already worked for me. No one else know how my mind works or my working and home environments, therefore I do not believe that anyone else’s Continue Reading …

In search of an organisation system

March 11, 2007 by Kate Davis 2 Comments

As a consultant working on multiple projects, task management is a key skill and one that I’ve never really been taught. Instead (after noticing the importance of the skill) I tried to improve by picking up tips from colleagues and general concepts on time management. As part of this hunt for improvement, I read Get everything done and still have time to play by Mark Forster a few years ago. I found it full of Continue Reading …

I'm a working mum of two children, and I believe everything benefits from being simpler. Although I'm not as good as I'd like at achieving simplification. I often get caught up on writing lists or planning the most efficient method of achieving things instead. Read More…
