Hey Johnny,

I may have found a “bug.” In “processing your inbox” you mention that you found the task “for feeding chickens which is obviously a p1” so you sort it accordingly. A few minutes later you say “well you are not going to process your inbox every single day.” (Time stamp 8:55) These two ideas are at odds with each other.

I haven’t finished the course so I don’t know what the most obvious resolution is, but at least at this stage of the course this “conflict” comes across as slightly confusing.

I think I know what you’re talking about … I recall it tickling something in me when I watched it through.

But yes, it is resolved later. Hold tight!

I think I may be missing something major here. Most of the tasks/projects I have in my task manager are not personal ones but work ones. I file them in 11.70.

That’s a whole bunch of tasks in one section, and it’s quickly overwhelming to me. I don’t understand how to organize my work tasks. If this guidance is in the T&PM materials, I missed it completely. Help!

11.70 in LAS is a place for career stuff that relates to you, but it is not a Johnny.Decimal system for your job.

For that, you need a new system, for your job! Your job is way outside the scope of the Life Admin System.

Where you put that depends on how much you manage. I always had an entirely separate system for work. If there isn’t much to manage, you might squeeze it into a new area in your personal system, e.g. 20-29 cygnoir's day job.

Either way, you need a whole set of new IDs which reflect the structure of that job. You’ll need to either design those (see the workbook/workshop), or use the Small Business System (if you’re running a small business).

And they need to be reflected in Things, and that is where you store all of this stuff.
