TechnOrganizing Principles
TechnOrganizing principles have helped hundreds of artists, entrepreneurs, community-based organizations and enterprises make the Internet work for them.
In today’s fast paced and hyper-connected world, we’re constantly negotiating the way with which we will be either interrupted or improved by the digital tools we use. It’s become critical to develop skills for managing our relationship with these tools. Thankfully, there are principles that can make this process easy and enjoyable.
Whether it’s information overload, incompatible systems or common mistakes that cost us time and money, we’ve all experienced mishaps that left us feeling overwhelmed, disappointed or afraid. TechnOrganizing principles can help us avoid these mishaps or recover from the negative impact of them on our experience of new tools and opportunities.
Below is a summary of the key principles gathered over a decade of learning how people successfully improve their relationship with their digital tools.
1. Start with Help
“A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study.”
Help is available on most of the online and mobile tools we all use. Don’t assume figuring it out alone is best. Move faster and save frustration by referring to help online, in applications, or user manuals first. Find the source of help that works best for you when you’re unsure.
2. Personalize
“You relate to what you help create.”
The best way to establish both power and ownership within the tools and applications we all use is to personalize them. These tools were created for you, but can also be created by you. Add your name, your favorite color, or a picture. Also, it’s not too much to email developers and recommend features.
3. Gain a Top Line View & Study Your Work
“An unexamined life is not worth living.”
To be more productive you must have an accurate assessment of where you are in relationship to where you want to be. By maintaining dashboards, advanced filters and automated labels, you can quickly assess the work ahead. Also, establishing indicators and recognizing patterns empowers us to make better choices. How many emails do you receive on average? How many of these do you respond to? What does that mean? What needs to change? Is your work style working for you? How you work can always be improved.
4. Organize by Search
“Name it how you’ll need it.”
Instead of putting everything in the proper place, use keywords, key people and other contextual information to find information whenever you need it. You can spend less time organizing your email, tasks and documents, by using advanced search operators as organizing tools and resisting the urge to keep everything in the “right place.”
5. Take Action & Take Breaks!
“In reality our bodies are designed to pulse and pause…”
When opportunities present themselves, take action. Small wins can help you build momentum to do larger tasks. If it takes under 2 minutes to delegate, respond or do, do it now. However, we are not machines meant to do repetitive tasks over a long period of time. We are human beings, built to work of to expend energy and then renew it.
6. Learn & Use Shortcuts
“There are shortcuts in life. Use them.”
You can get more done if you can move faster in the apps, online tools and devices you use. You can find and learn shortcut keys. Saving absolute links or bookmarks that take you quickly to very specific pages in your application will save you time. In addition, knowing shortcuts for the top ten actions you take every day will increase your speed.
