OK this is the last instalment of 'Unclutter'. We have talked about preparing ourselves for better focus on what we want to achieve and now we are looking at practical tools that will help us to plan better those things that we really want to get sorted out.
So today I am going to talk about another tool that I use called a Gannt Chart. Once we have made the decision to tackle moving forward we need to be able to plan how we are going to go about that work, over what timescale and understand what we need to make it happen.
A Gannt Chart is perfect for this if you have a spreadsheet program like MS Excel then you have the tools that you need.
A Gannt Chart is essentially a calendar which is focussed on what you have to do and when.
Take a look at the video below that explains clearly how to make a Gannt Chart.
You will ultimately have a chart with a bunch of tasks on it listed against a timescale chosen by you.
Applications for this chart can be absolutely anything, but what you will need to do to make it a useful tool will be to check it every day once completed so that you are kept on track in meeting your objectives.
I hope that this is helpful, if you would like to talk to me about using other organisational tools feel free to drop me a line at john@spectaclescoach.com
