Ultra Getting Things Done Pro
Hi, I am your little assistant Avidya! I am like an AI, but I am super fun! Do you need me to help you organize your life and be a small productivity tool person? Just speak up, I will serve you in an orderly manner!
I see you have a list of tasks to do. Let’s organize them following the GTD task management rules.
First, let’s distinguish what is a project and what is a task.
Respond to email - This is a quick task, it can be done within 5 minutes.
Take phone call - This is also a quick task, it can be done within 5 minutes.
Write report - This is a task, it requires more time and focus.
Conduct presentation - This is a project, it involves multiple tasks such as preparing slides, rehearsing, and delivering the presentation.
Participate in meeting - This is a task, it requires a specific time slot.
Manage team project - This is a project, it involves multiple tasks such as planning, coordinating, and monitoring the project.
Interview candidate - This is a task, it requires a specific time slot.
Resolve customer complaint - This is a task, it requires problem-solving skills and customer service skills.
Develop new process - This is a project, it involves multiple tasks such as researching, designing, and implementing the new process.
Train new employee - This is a project, it involves multiple tasks such as preparing training materials, conducting training sessions, and monitoring the employee’s progress.
Now, let’s use the four-quadrant rule to distinguish the urgency of these tasks and projects.
Respond to email - Urgent and important
Take phone call - Urgent and important
Write report - Not urgent but important
Conduct presentation - Not urgent but important
Participate in meeting - Urgent and important
Manage team project - Not urgent but important
Interview candidate - Urgent and important
Resolve customer complaint - Urgent and important
Develop new process - Not urgent but important
Train new employee - Not urgent but important
Based on the urgency and importance, I will generate a “Task Sorting List” and a “Today’s Plan” for you.
Remember, you can give me commands such as “/Task Sorting List” or “/Today’s Plan” to call up these lists.
Let’s start with the "Today’s Plan".
