Whilst doing some decluttering the other week, I came across some very old notes from when I used to have a yearly work appraisal. I'd joined a newly created team at the time, so our wonderful supervisor was trying out the Stop, Start, Continue feedback method to help us improve how we worked together. As we were dealing with both a new project and a new team, I definitely felt that the method helped us with implementing the work and also getting to know each other.
Until I came across those notes, unsurprisingly it's not something I've thought about for a long time, but it occurred to me that I could use stop, start and continue lists in my Filofax to help me identify what is working, and what could be improved or changed. The more I think about it, I think they could be very helpful to me in lots of different ways:
- At the beginning of a year, instead of New Years resolutions.
- Updated and/or reviewed on a monthly basis - I've found over time that a monthly review works best for me.
- To help with a specific project or area of life.
- On an adhoc basis, if I'm feeling overwhelmed and want to make a quick decision about what to focus on.
Have you tried something like this before in your planner, and if so, has it worked for you?
And as always on Fridays, please feel free to discuss anything organiser related. I hope that you have a great weekend.
