[1]What Systems Keep You Effective?, (Sat, Jun 9th):

     Previously I discussed [2]What's On Your Not To Do List as a means
     to remain focused on priorities. I never fear running out of work in
     [3]cybersecurity. Instead, I worry that our focus does not always
     stay on the most critical issues. Today I want to highlight several
     techniques I use to help remain effective.

     Saying no

     Over and over again

     No can be a complete sentence

     Opportunity cost associated with time spent on other items

     Calendar Margin

     Create space for unexpected tasks

     Make appointments for what matters most

     Goal tracking system

     As an achiever, I enjoy checking items off my "to do" list

     [4]Evernote as a repository to hold ideas for future research

     Keep from cluttering up my brain

     [5]A physical planner

     Found tremendous value in weekly reviews

     Focus on what I accomplished

     And what needs even more focus

     Each of these tactics serves to help keep me focused on what matters
     most. What hacks do you use to stay effective throughout your busy
     day? Let us know in the comments section!

   Other than the use of Evernote (I of course use Emacs & [10]Org mode),
   I do or intend to do all of this listed here. I like the "Calendar
   Margin" as something I am accidentally doing and could probably
   improve.
