This is a YouTube video titled "Master Your Day - Break Tasks Down to Conquer Time!" featuring a conversation between Leslie and Jim Johnson discussing task management strategies, specifically breaking down tasks into manageable time segments.
This is a good one. You ready? Every task in taskology is 30 seconds to 30 minutes, long period, end of story. This is how people do the math. You've got to identify an action step that fits in that area. Now, we have exceptions. Sure. And if you said, leslie, I'm going to start writing a book and I want to sink into it for two hours, well, we're going to block time on the calendar. That's easy peasy. But when we're talking about getting things done in your day, generally Most tasks are 2 minute, 5 minute, 10 minute, 20 minute tasks. Almost all of them are going to be 30 minutes or less. And even if you said, well, this project is going to take me longer, well, we have ways in our system of breaking that down.
Well, I was just about to ask that. If it takes more than 30 minutes, it sounds more like a project than a task.
And it can be. But we break it down because far too often people are not identifying the way to get it started.
