LeaderTask and Data Base of Useful Advices


Why is it necessary to use LeaderTask?

Data Base of Useful Advices growths up! I'll wright some of them below. Let me remind you that to get the access to the data base you have to fill up a form - do it and you'll get the access to the Data Base of Useful Advices!

Users' reviews
Why should I use LeaderTask?
1. All tasks and plans are always at hand. 2. You never forget to do something, LT will remind.
Convenient and friendly interface, portable. Assignment control, control of the results, saving of the results and opportunity of making reports. Really helps in life: work, home, rest - tasks planning, meetings planning, reminder of the important events.

When the number of tasks for today (including assigned ones) overcomes 10-15 - you can't do futher without LeaderTask or a program like this.
You can have a perfect visualization of the business process. I've got rid of the paper organizers and use LT to increase the effectiveness of my planning.
For those who work the whole day at the PC and do great number of tasks, work with a lot of different information just need programs like this one. And LT is perfect here to my opinion.

What would you advice at the beginning of using LeaderTask?

I'd wish patience - the program is very powerfull - I wish patience to learn all its possibilities and to decide to buy it :-)
I use LeadeTask in the "Todo list" mode (analogues of a task list on a paper scrap). You can move tasks easily for another days. It won't let you give up on a half-way.
I would advice to put all tasks in LeaderTask and to start use it, after that you'll have to use it anyway - all tasks are there. Step by step you'll learn your own scheme of working with the program and it will become very convenient. LeaderTask mail client also helped me - I've just put all mail in it. There isn't a long way from a mail to a task in this program.
First of all you have to choose your TM methodology. I recommend to read Vasily Kisly :)

Some users' advices from the Data Base of Useful Advices

If you work in the Internet - push the F11 button - get rid of everything that can disturb you visually.
When you don't know what to begin with - begin with the imagination of the result, thoughts what to do will appear themselves.
Hang a table on the wall. Write there habits you'd like to make a part of your life. Mark every day when you've managed to do it. But the most important thing is to see the habits and to try to repeat them. After a month or two delete the habits you've got accustomed to and whose you couldn't make a part of you life. Add new ones. From 7 to 15. For example, to get up at 7 a.m. To do morning exercises. To read books and so on.
Try to meet people that organizer their work well, that can teach you. Learn or just talk with them, follow their examples.
Before execute a long chain of actions - write it down and delete every executed step, one by one.
Every third personal appeal of your colleagues should be rejected. Say you're busy with work. Try to get rid of distraction at the working process.

Data Base of Useful Advices for Everyone!

We have accumulated a lot of useful information - advices to increase the efficiency of time usage and personal efectiveness - that means the techniques that help in life. We have a lot of information at our forum, blog and web site - it doesn't have any structure and searching of a useful advice is difficult. That is why we decided to make a united big data base of useful advices where will be an obvious navigation, categories division and common format. This way the useful information will be always at hand and you will be able to easily find whatever you need.

How to get the data base

This moment we are developing the engine for this data base. Till then the base will be just in form of a pages available at the LeaderTask User Club. I'm sure everyone use some tips and tricks, effectiveness rules and so on. That is why you can send your advices for personal effectiveness increasing - to do it just fill up the for at the bottom of this message. After moderation of your form - you'll get the whole data base in one file. Your advices can be also added to this data baseу - this way the base will be grow up and update constantly.

Some examples of of the advices that are already in the base:
Execute only main tasks. (Main ones are the tasks that give 80% of the result)
Keep your mind empty. (Write down all the information on an external data keeper)
Revise your task list for today every day.
Move irrelevant tasks from today to next days.
Write down all tasks, thoughts, ideas even if you will need them in a month or a year. Set them the dates - when they will be relevant. You should set up the dates always, even if task has a contact, project, category or everything of this. When the date comes, the task will apear in your list for today and you will decide what to do with it. Anyway you won't forget about it.
Write down your global/strategical plans for 3, 5, 10 years. It is quite simple and increase the speed of realization of your goals.

The main point of the base is laconism. That means all advices should be short and clear to make it easy to read/understand/use.
