One of the biggest challenges in this amazing journey to be a successful Web Entrepreneur is the ability to stay focus on the task on hand.
Never before in this century that we are presented with abundance of opportunities and it can get overwhelming.
When I first started, this is something that I didn’t see it coming. I became addicted to the information and jumping from one opportunity to another. That’s where the “Jumper Syndrome” came to mind for the title.
Five years later, all the information are still there collecting digital dusts somewhere in my external hard disk and NOTHING have been done.
Fortunately, there’s ways to overcome this problem and this phenomena on information overload. Here are some of the resources that assist me:
1. Getting Things Done by David Allen. This book is not about time management but how we can strategically plan our thoughts to execute certain task.
2. A year organiser/management portfolio that i use to plan out my goals and objective. I’ve section into 4 parts: goals of the year, 90 days plans, 30 days plan and daily plan. I have to thank Alex Jeffrey for explaining this in detail on how this works.
3. Mind mapping tools such as MindMeister and Freemind. Mindmapping is not complicated as it looks. Both tools are free to use.
4. For iPhone, I use Appigo Todo. It is easy to use and interface. Most importantly, I can back up the information to an online service at Toodledo.
5. By the end of the day, I will list down at least 5 micro tasks that I have successfully completed in my daily project portfolio and have a little celebration.
Do leave a comment if you find any other related useful tools or information out there.
