This is Steveer Robbins. Welcome to the Get It Done guys, quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.

Today is my second to last episode and my last solo episode. So we're going to go for the best of the best.

In the last 576 episodes, we've covered a lot of territory together. We've had big tips, small

tips, intriguing tips, and of course Q tips. But as you surely recall from episode 512,

the 8020 rule, 20% of the tips make 80% of the difference. So today, come for a quick

review of the tips that will improve your life the most. The big tips.

Some tips apply throughout all areas of your life and your business, and if you remember anything

from the Get It Done guy, remember these. One, keep your why in mind. This is the single most

important tip ever. I don't know what it is about us humans, but it's super easy

for us to do stuff that doesn't actually move us forward towards our goals. In episode 130,

how to accomplish your real goals, we learned to ask, why am I doing this anyway? At every

possible moment. And if your actions don't lead to your goals, change what you're doing.

Two, use one master to-do list. If you have little scraps of paper everywhere with to-do

items jotted down on them, consolidate. Have one master to-do list, preferably on paper,

and every week do a round-up of any random task items that you've jotted elsewhere.

I tend to jot them on anything that's handy, including the cat, and then move them into your master list.

Then you can review the entire list and get an overview of all of the things that you could be

doing, but you probably aren't.

Episodes 290 and 171 discuss how to manage your task lists on paper and how to create one master

system to organize your life.

Three, speed date your tasks, and if you want to get going on all those things, try speed

dating.
