This is a very promising article title. I see you already think slowly "That's it, it will still lay us ten pages of blah to something simple! "Well no, it will be very short indeed! qpr Finally, I will try ... The MindSweep is a term used by David Allen in his GTD; it describes a process, as a game, to create a vacuum in the spirit leaving the content to place on physical media. It can be translated into French as "to clean up the mind" To play this game and most importantly, WIN, there are two rules: Starting the game, you agree to reread the media you will create. The ideal is to read two or three times in the first day and make the necessary additions. Then once a day for two or three days in a row. Finally, you will update at least once a week. The duration of a MindSweep is one month. The substrate chosen for your MindSweep can be changed at any time. It should not be frozen! To begin I suggest you take a block of sheets of blank paper (without lines or squares) and a pencil. Techies probably choose a word processor, it is a laudable reflex but they will be much less free in expressing qpr and organizing their ideas. qpr If MindSweep goes well, you will inevitably feel the need to make it as accessible as possible. This is where the preferred media appear: your PDA, sheet, sticky notes, a notebook, mobile phone, your laptop, a Word document, text files on a USB key, a blog, a wiki, etc. Some tips for supporting your MindSweep: you need to update it quickly and easily several times a day. It will be compact and technically simple to use. That's it! You have only two rules to follow. I recapitulate: Maintain the support to date for a month; Adapt the support or to develop it according to your needs. Can you meet these commitments? Preparing Your first MindSweep will last 15 minutes. Make sure not to be disturbed during this first part. Turn off your phones, TV, radio, instant messaging tools or e-mail client. You deserve these 15 minutes of your life, do not forget it! (For the manic urgency, know that if you really urgent information needs to be transmitted, it will be finally passed even if we could not reach you for 15 minutes!) You will start by creating multiple zones . If you chose the paper sheets, take a leaf area. You reduce the later. If you chose an electronic medium, make 'chapters' or 'Documents'. It should nevertheless you can have all visually accessible areas. The names of these zones and their respective titled WAITING: I look at these people ... PROJECTS: I am involved in these projects ... DO: My tasks to do ... ONE DAY MAY BE: My dreams, desires, goals Personal ... AGENDA: My next appointment ... REFERENCE: For reference ... That makes in all six areas. Create these areas with their title and title! As shown in the image below: If you see precise & eacut
