One of the best ways to keep moving forward with multiple projects is to stop and take inventory once in awhile. Pause, look at the list, prioritize the list for the needs of here and now, then use that as your roadmap on how to move forward. The Projects Whiteboard in Foresight was designed just for that purpose.
With the Projects Whiteboard, you can open it up, then drag and drop projects into an order that works for what you need to be focusing on. If you have “multiple areas” in your life like I do (Personal, Work, Foresight), then, use the Category drop down to choose that “area,” which will cut down the number of projects you are looking at – making it easier to prioritize. Once you have the list reflective of today, close it then refresh the Projects Widget to see your true next actions. When a lot gets on your plate, this is a sure way to make sure you can get through it.
Today was one of those days for me. Several things hit at once. So, I performed the above steps first thing this morning and I’m happy to report that I had several “check marks” to close my day. A lot got done; the right things got done – and that’s a great feeling.
