It is easy to use and has a great iPhone app that I use ever-so-frequently to capture anything of importance. Omnifocus is limited in that it is only available on Apple devices (Mac, iOS) but the point is that you need somewhere to capture things and manage committed projects or tasks. Omnifocus is where I manage all my life projects and capture anything I may want to commit to or need to remember. Omnifocus, Evernote and Dropbox are my triple threat and there is no overlap in their usage. Simplicity is key for me so I prefer to use a minimum number of tools, the number that works for me is three. As long as it works, your brain will trust it and that is the goal. If something else works for you, then great. So these tools are suggestions and are based on my experience alone. I am of the opinion that what works for me, might not work for you. Doing this alone will make you feel good, then it is just a little bit of courage and discipline to get it all done. Just write down everything you are committing to in all aspects of your life. It is easy to start, all you need is a little bit of time and a pen and paper. You can't change something if you arenвЂ™t consciously aware of it. So having more awareness is step one and maybe the most critical piece. Things like when to change the oil in my snowblower, trips to take with the family during the holidays and scheduling yearly doctor check-ups took up unneeded space in my brain and I needed to find a system that my mind would trust and let them go. I noticed that I was trying to manage hundreds of brainless tasks with my mind and it was overwhelmed. This was very true to me and when I realized this, it was the first step towards change. If anxiety is one of them, it might be a strong indicator you are overwhelmed. Part of self awareness is being aware of your habitual emotions. Be Aware, Of Thy SelfД®ven though something might not be in your conscious mind, it still affects you. But I do and here are some concepts, tools and best practices I use to manage my personal life. If I didnвЂ™t have some way to manage it all, I would never have a second to smell the roses.

As you can imagine, there is a lot to manage and a lot to get done. In addition to being a Co-Founder and President at Arkus, I run all sales at Arkus, own a home, have a wife and three children under the age of ten, two vehicles, on two committees at a social club and coach baseball and travel basketball. I for one believe that regardless of how much you have on your plate both in your career and personal lives, applying these concepts holistically will lead to more happiness, clarity and balance.Д«efore I go into what works for me, I figured I would give you a little about what my world looks like.

It is also highly encouraged to apply these concepts and best practices in your personal life. It is so important to our success that anyone who has the pleasure to work at Arkus is introduced to them on day one of their tenure. These are some of the core concepts illustrated in David Allen's book, вЂњ Getting Things Done (GTD)вЂќ and is the foundation for how we at Arkus conduct our business. This leads to stress, anxiety and вЂњunproductivenessвЂќ. It is designed to only be able to consciously track four things at a time and too much вЂњstuffвЂќ stored in a personвЂ™s short-term memory can blow a fuse. Your brain is a focusing tool, not a storage place.
