So now that we are capturing information consistently, what do we do with it? Luckily, I have an answer, and it is called.......wait for it.......processing. Processing is the act of categorizing and sorting each captured item to ensure it is assigned to the proper list or note. It can get much more detailed than that, and I will dive into that as I go through my personal application of processing. For now, however, we will stick with the basics. Each category will need it's own location so to start you will need a place for Tasks and other list items, and long term notes. Once you have those in place, we can get started. I do my processing in the morning, so I can schedule my day to include time sensitive tasks. Checking your capture items regularly is important no matter the time of the day. Failure to process your captured items can break the Capture process quickly. Things pile up, they get disorganized, and before you know it you are spending most of your "product...

This is my first content post so there are a couple things I want to cover before jumping into the meat of the subject. The first thing is how this will be structured. As of right now, I have 5 blogs prepared on the method of capture, process, benefits, my history with it, and lastly a breakdown of how I currently use it. All of this is subject to change based on feedback I get or if I realize I have left something important out.   I plan on reviewing   these afterwards in order to figure out the best way to format these multi blog topics, and would like feedback when the time comes. The second thing I want to make sure everyone is aware of is that these are my personal processes I have adapted over the years to fit my needs. I am not saying this is the way things should be done, or that they are better than what you currently do. These are my processes I use as a CEO that allow me to stay productive and I am sharing them because I believe they can be helpful. I would ...

To begin, I am bad at lots of things. I always seem to take longer to "get it", and I absolutely insist on learning most of my lessons the hard way. Knowing that about myself is a good thing though. It allows me to better plan for improvement and the inevitable failure in life that we all face. Well since I am so bad, why I am I writing a blog to try and help others improve? Did I mention I learn lessons the hard way? I do that a lot. When I learn things the hard way I'm still learning, and I want to share the gritty details of failure so maybe others can learn from my hard lessons. I have a specific path I am taking in life. That path has two rules so far. One, always tell the truth, and two, work to get incrementally better at something every day. I am the CEO of a medium sized business. I started as an entry level employee and worked my way to my current position over the past decade. It has been very challenging at times, but very rewarding as well. I ha...
