Time Management for Creative People 6 – Get Things Off Your Mind

Get Things Off Your Mind is the next post in my series on Time Management for Creative People on Business of Design Online.

If you’ve ever forgotten an important commitment, or wish you could keep better track of your to-do lists, have a look at the post – it introduces David Allen’s concept of ‘buckets’ to help you get things off your mind and focus on what you are doing in the present. After all, our brains have more interesting things to do than remember stuff.

EDIT: If you prefer watching video to reading, here’s a time management training interview in which I explain some of the key concepts from this series.

Would you like your team to be more creative and productive?

If your team could do with some help getting creative work done in the midst of the demands and distractions of the 21st-century workplace, ask me about running my popular time management training workshop Time Management for Creative People for your organisation.
