How to Get Things Done in 2020
This year we learned that the key to doing the things we want to accomplish isn’t time management, but rather attention management. Instead of rigorously (точно, методично) scheduling every minute of your day around tasks and to-do lists, approach work more from the perspective of: What are the things I care about, and what are the things I want to devote my attention to (уделять внимание)?
It seems like a small, arbitrary word-swap (замена слова), but when you’re truthful with yourself about the things that take up your attention — and whether those are the things you’re truly content with giving your attention to — you might realize that solely thinking about work in terms of time spent isn’t the best approach.
Attention management is the art of focusing on getting things done for the right reasons, in the right places and at the right moments. Prioritize the people and projects that matter, and it won’t matter how long anything takes.
