On this week

  • Weekly PrioritiesA short numbered list of what matters most this week, written before the week fills up.
  • Waiting OnWhat you are waiting for from other people: who, what, and since when. Getting Things Done calls this the Waiting For list.
  • Weekend (note box)A box headed Weekend, ruled with lines, to write in.
  • Day PartsSplit each day into morning, midday, afternoon and evening, and decide what each part is for.
  • To-do checklistRows with a box to tick. Placed across several days, it becomes one list per day.
  • Eisenhower MatrixSort the week's tasks by urgency and importance: do what is urgent and vital, schedule what is vital, delegate what is urgent, and drop the rest. Named for a 1954 remark of Eisenhower's, and made popular by Stephen Covey.
  • 1:1 AgendaNotes to bring to a meeting with your manager: what went well, what is in your way, and what you need from them.
  • PTO MeterYour paid time off, one cell for each day you take, with a mark every five. It starts at twenty days; change the total to match your allowance.
