GOODTASK KEEPS FREEZING SERIES

In a theme that came up over and over during the conference, he talked about identifying the bigger picture of what you want in life and why, and focusing on tasks that drive those goals rather than letting all the competing sensory inputs of notifications and calls and emails determine what you do. We’re turning our backs on busy work, on “meetings that could have been emails,” and the experience of being buried in tasks for tasks’ sake, and turning to pondering what we really want - out of our careers, and more deeply, out of our lives. Jeff talked about the reckoning we collectively saw, both with the onset of the pandemic and now, with the Great Resignation. Out of the box, after the welcome, we began with a presentation from trainer and coach Jeff Whitmore about intentionality.

The summit was a combination of live presentations and panels as well as a series of about a dozen videos each day, and live (video) networking. It would destroy your time management and mine if I shared every amazing detail, but even just the personal highlights are staggering.

Over and over, there were presentations and videos that delved into examining the “why” of getting things done. Readers, let me just tell you, last week from Thursday through Sunday, I was entirely geeked-out over all things related to task management, time blocking, scheduling, goal achievement.Īnd while we explored all manner of strategies, techniques, and tools for getting more done, there was definitely an undercurrent of something more valuable in this year’s conference. I’d also attended a productivity summit and the last two years of the Task Management and Time Blocking summits, and have spent the last several months preparing to attend the third, as I referenced in Struggling To Get Things Done? Paper Doll’s Advice & The Task Management & Time Blocking Virtual Summit 2022. After 2020’s conference was canceled, I was delighted to get to participate in a virtual version, as I told you about in Paper Doll Recaps the NAPO2021 Virtual Conference. Longtime readers know that I seek out all types of continuing education, including each annual NAPO conference. What did you get done last week? Was it everything you wanted to accomplish? Did you use a paper calendar or a digital one? A task app or sticky notes? Do you have SMART goals? Am I freaking you out?
