Deal effectively with internal commits: • How many incompletes or open loops are pulling your attention? • There are many more than you think • Basic requirements in Managing Commitments: First: Clear your mind by emptying it! Anything you consider unfinished in any way must be captured in a trusted system outside your mind where you come back to regularly and sort through! Second: Clarify exactly what your commitment is and decide what you have to do, if anything, to make progress toward fulfilling it. Third: Once you‘ve decided on all the actions you need to take, you must keep MIND LIKE WATER zondag 25 november 12
