Why You Should Use a Digital Calendar
The best strategy in the world will get you nowhere if you cannot execute it. Being organized, able to schedule and execute our plans, underpins our success.
I recommend using your digital calendar as your TO DO list. It’s the best way I’ve found to ensure one off and repeating tasks are never overlooked.
My team and I plan our schedule for the week in our digital calendars, around meetings that are already booked.
We allocate a day, time and duration for each task.
And we set automatic repeats at weekly, monthly, quarterly intervals for recurring tasks, so we set them once and we are set for the year.
Inevitably, things come up that disrupt our plan. We simply drag and drop our task to another free space in our calendar.
And, and this step is super important: after we complete a task, we change the calendar to reflect an increase or decrease the amount of time we actually spent on it.
This improves our ability to allocate time more and more accurately as we see clearly how we consistently underestimate the time it will take for certain tasks.
