Planning and Managing So Many Areas

February 10, 2011 By Al Martine

I’m finding it difficult to keep all my thoughts organized concerning New Co.  At this moment, I’m working on financial valuations, the business plan, due diligence, and investigating technology platforms.  The process of deciding what’s the most immediate need is getting easier but still seems chaotic.

The last three days have provided a lot of information through emails, calls and my own thoughts.  So, today I’m going through everything and trying to organize them.  My To Do list now seems reasonable and my work notes are now more organized.  Heck, most of them are even tied directly to my to do list.  The first two actions are – review Questions list and update per notes and review notes and update brainstorm mind map.  My second level actions will be decide next steps for questions and organize map.

This level of organization seems crazy but without it I find my days are filled with thinking about all the stuff I probably need to do and surfing the Internet.  The act of finding my next immediate action is having the desired effect.  I’m decreasing procrastination and – ahem – getting more things done.
