Simple Time Management Tip - Use Stacks of Sticky Notes

There has been a lot written about time management. There's GTD, ZTD, Auto Focus, To Do Lists, and lots of phone apps, PC software and heaps of online tools and other stuff. But who has time to read and apply these tools. Most of them are time wasting High-Tech traps.

In many cases the users of these tools end up being the slaves to this technology and get bogged down wasting lots of precious time entering and editing the stuff. The 'tail ends up wagging the dog'.

There has to be a simpler way. Well there is! The method I use is an extremely simple and effective method using sticky notes organised into a stack. I call it Post-It Task Stacks. Its the PITS!
