Key Takeaways from the Seminar
1️⃣ Mastering the GTD Framework
Zakariya introduced the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology, outlining five key steps:
Capture: Collect everything that requires attention in a trusted system, whether physical or digital.
Clarify: Process each item to determine if it’s actionable and decide on the next steps.
Organise: Categorise actionable items into lists (e.g., projects, deadlines, contexts).
Reflect: Regularly review lists to ensure priorities remain clear and up to date.
Engage: Focus on completing the next action that aligns with your goals.
2️⃣ Actionable Strategies for Staying Organised
Zakariya highlighted these tips for effective organisation:
Use a trusted system (e.g., apps, planners) to track commitments and reduce mental stress.
Break tasks into single actions or projects, depending on complexity.
Prioritise based on time, deadlines, and context for maximum efficiency.
3️⃣ Overcoming Procrastination
Zakariya shared practical advice on beating procrastination:
Break large tasks into smaller, manageable steps.
Identify your peak productivity hours and tackle challenging tasks during that time.
Use the "2-minute rule": If a task can be done in under two minutes, do it immediately.
4️⃣ The Power of Review and Reflection
Regularly reviewing tasks and projects ensures clarity and progress.
Reflection helps align daily actions with long-term goals.
