Managing Your Commitments


Managing Your Commitments is a vital first step in time management:
  1. First, if it’s on your mind, your mind isn’t clear

  3. –Outlook email inbox
    –Physical in-basket
    –Voice recorder

You should have as few “collection buckets” as are adequate (and as many as are necessary).

You should not try to "keep things in your head". I am sure you can remember several instances when that did not work). Free up your mind for the task at hand; don't clutter it with "I have to be sure to remember to...".
