I’ve been trying this task management method(Ivy Lee Method) on Asana for the past two months.
I feel like it suits me
Specifically, it’s the following steps.
- In the custom fields of My Tasks, create a single-selection field called “Priority”. Set “Must Do” as the first option.
- At the end of each day, extract up to six “Must Do” tasks for the next day. I try to choose the top priority task from among the high priority tasks I left undone today and the many tasks for the next day.(However, I have not set any priority for those six.)
- I make sure to complete the “Must Do” task the next day as the top priority. I try not to start any other tasks until I complete this task.
- The important thing is to group and display My Tasks by the custom field mentioned above.
Up until now, I’ve been using the Eisenhower Matrix.
Now I’m using both.
P.S.: It’s not difficult for me to decide the tasks I will definitely do the next day at the end of the previous day. The big problem is that when I come to the office the next morning, there are requests from other members on my desk, and I have more things to do.
