#Tramell from the power hour series#

And if you need more convincing, here's a (very young) me from February 2018 gushing about the series in my first Monthly Favourites video when I had like 2,000 subscribers. If you haven't read / listened to the Mistborn series, please do yourself a favour and start now. Revisiting the adventures of Kelsier and Vin has been a real pleasure, and I'm so excited to re-listen to the rest of the trilogy as well. It was also my first introduction to the expansive world of fantasy literature, which I've been exploring through books and audiobooks for the past 3 years. I first read the series in 2017 - it was my first introduction to Sanderson's incredible writing, and he's since become my favourite author. I'm super excited about doing this daily Power Hour for the next few weeks and seeing how it works out - I'll report back and let you know.īook - I started relistening to the first book of the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson this week. And because the stuff that's urgent always gets done anyway, I haven't let any truly urgent things fall through the cracks. Since starting this 2 weeks ago I've made so much progress on an exciting new project - I'll tell you more about that next week. Only the stuff that's important, but that doesn't have a looming deadline. So in that hour, even if I've got a sponsored video deadline for the following day, I'm not allowed to do anything that's urgent.

Recently I've started this thing called Power Hour, which involves spending an hour in the morning, before checking any emails or notifications, straight after breakfast and coffee, to exclusively work on the 'Important but not Urgent' stuff. I've got a few different projects in that category, but I've been making very little progress on those, because there's always stuff in the 'Important and Urgent' category that takes my attention first.

The issue here is the work that fits into the blue 'Important but Not Urgent' category. And we should DELEGATE stuff that's urgent and not important. We should SCHEDULE stuff that's important but not urgent. We should DO stuff that's urgent and important. The basic interpretation of the Eisenhower Matrix is that we should DELETE any work that's not urgent and not important. We can split up work into Urgent and Non-Urgent, and Important vs Not Important.
