All Zoomed out! Lots of online meetings on various platforms filling our days. But the most important meeting is a low tech offline one!

Are you making time for a meeting with yourself? Have you put it in your calendar and blocked off time to review, plan and priorise your day?

Below is my ‘Agenda’ for Morning and Evening meeting with self – and God.

I’m a big fan of AYOA and have used it for years to keep track of my projects and tasks – it may work well for you – it’s very visual, actually quite fun, and integrates with mind-mapping. The important thing is to have a trusted system – somewhere beyond your head to capture and process all the things that you have to do
