I’ve posted before about how much Simpleology has helped me increase my productivity. I think it’s a brilliant blend of goal-setting, time management, and self-improvement in one simple system.
Mark Joyner, who created Simpleology, calls it “the simple science of getting what you want.”
Now Mark has created a Web version of Simpleology 101, which is free to all. You can go through all the paces online, and/or download some software tools designed to reduce the paperwork and, he hopes, make it even more simple.
Whether you will prefer the new version or the former, paper-based version depends on how much you like to do things on your computer. For me, there are pros and cons to each way.
I like the way the software for the online version takes me quickly through the steps of the daily planning session, called the Daily Target Praxis, and make decisions about whether to delegate, do it now, or deliberate, the online software sorts everything out into the appropriate places. When you’ve gone through the DTP, you are left with a list of your Daily Targets. It’s a very clean process, and eliminates a lot of paper.
However, I like to then prioritize my targets. So what I do is put each target on a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper, and sort the papers into order and place them into today’s hanging folder. Other tasks can go into tomorrow’s folder, next week’s, or whatever.
One thing I don’t like about the new software is that when I put the Cockpit on my desktop, the only way to keep it is if my screen resolution is set for the highest resolution. I can’t read my computer screen well enough on this setting, so I can’t use this. Too bad–it was handy.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about and would like some help in getting more done more efficiently, check out Simpleology 101. It’s free, and it might work for you as well as it’s worked for me.
