\u200bWe\u00a0pushed a TIMEJAR iOS update today that includes\u00a0our new Apple Watch App! TIMEJAR is free,\u00a0and\u00a0it\u00a0syncs across all of your\u00a0devices. Get it in the App Store\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve been using TIMEJAR on the\u00a0Apple Watch for about a month,\u00a0and here’s how it has\u00a0increased my productivity:<\/p>\n

1. I can quickly “Clear my Mind” and add tasks via voice (tasks are automatically added to my Holding Jar).<\/p>\n

2. I have quick access to\u00a0my most important tasks (my Daily Game Plan Jar) on my wrist, ensuring that I stay on track during the day.<\/p>\n

3. I can move tasks from the Holding Jar to my DGP if necessary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I can do all of this without pulling my phone out of my pocket!<\/p>\n

This workflow\u00a0reinforces a simple\u00a0system that has worked WONDERS for me:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Each time something comes to my mind, I dump it into my Holding Jar via the Clear Your Mind bar (I don’t try to find the right place to enter it, I just quickly add\u00a0the task without thinking about sorting).<\/p>\n

2. I periodically sort the\u00a0Holding Jar during the day (the goal is to keep the Holding Jar clear)\u00a0by moving\u00a0tasks to my Daily Game Plan,\u00a0Tomorrow Jar, or the\u00a0Someday Jar.<\/p>\n

3. I focus on Daily Game Plan tasks–working on the\u00a0most important things first.<\/p>\n

Why does this work?<\/em><\/p>\n

This workflow keeps my\u00a0mind clear by getting things out of my head\u00a0and\u00a0into the\u00a0Holding Jar. Since these tasks\u00a0are in the Holding Jar, I don’t feel like I need to work on them immediately. Working on unimportant tasks as they come to you\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0major momentum\/productivity killer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After those tasks\u00a0have\u00a0had a few minutes or hours to age in the Holding Jar, I can rationally sort them\u00a0by importance. If a task goes into my DGP, that means I’m getting it done today. If it’s moved\u00a0to my Tomorrow Jar, then I will get to it after I finish my DGP list. The\u00a0Someday Jar\u00a0is for things that need\u00a0to be looked at eventually, but not right now.<\/p>\n

This simple strategy removes distractions, keeps my mind clear, and builds\/maintains\u00a0momentum during the day. At the end of the day, I experience\u00a0a feeling of accomplishment, because I know I’ve worked on the most important things in the correct order.<\/p>\n

I hope this helps you become more productive. This simple system that I use daily\u00a0will work with ANY time management program (but obviously I built TIMEJAR around these core concepts<\/a>).<\/p>\n

If you need help, or have any questions about the course, or the TIMEJAR system, please post in the Discussion section.<\/p>\n

Have a great week!<\/p>\n
