Assess. Prioritise. Focus
These are the 3 things that we all want to do. Specifically, the 3 things that you want from a daily planner. And also the 3 things that the Be Your Eagle Daily Planner has.
We finally launched a daily planner with a twist. That is, we’ve moved away from the glorified to-do lists and have created a planner that achieves real behavioural change.
The Be Your Eagle Daily Planner will achieve a +1% productivity increase for you every single week. This will equate to a +24% productivity increase over 6 months.
3 Time Management Techniques
All in all, the key to this planner is the reinforcement of 3 key time management techniques:
Throughout the planner, you learn, recall, use, track and coach these 3 techniques, which allows you to cement the learning and achieve time management behavioural change.
1. Eisenhower’s Matrix
Firstly, Eisenhower’s Matrix allows you to assess your to-do list by filling in the Matrix every day based on which of your tasks are urgent and important, and which are not. So this allows you to become aware of which tasks are high priority, and which you were spending time on but were perhaps neither urgent nor important.
Our video below explains the origins of the technique and how it can help you overcome issues of assessment.
2. Eat That Frog
Now our second famous technique, Eat That Frog, is from Mark Twain who suggested that if your job involved eating a frog, you’d want to get that task out of the way first. And if your job involved eating two frogs, then you’d want to eat the biggest first.
So the idea is that you start your day with the most challenging task, and then the endorphins from getting that big task done, propel you to complete the rest of your tasks.
3. Cabbage Butterfly
Now this technique follows the idea that cabbage butterflies fly from cabbage to cabbage, creating holes all over the patch but never finishing a cabbage. Unfortunately, this is what we do at work – flit from task to task, never fully completing anything.
Moreover, the Cabbage Butterfly technique helps you to stay focused and complete a task from start to end.
Why An Eagle?
Now, you might be asking yourself, ‘Why an Eagle?’. Well, allow us to explain…
Once upon a time, on a large mountainside, there was an eagle nest with 4 large eagle eggs inside.
One day, an earthquake rocked the mountain causing one of the eagle’s eggs to roll down to a chicken farm, located in the valley below.The chickens took care of the egg and sat on it to keep it warm. Eventually, the eagle egg hatched, and a beautiful eagle was born.
Being chickens, they raised the eagle to be like a chicken. The eagle thought she was a chicken and so she acted just like a chicken. Chickens like to live on the land and do not soar high up in the sky like eagles do. The eagle learned to imitate the chickens. She scratched the ground looking for grubs and worms.
She thought she was a chicken. The eagle loved her home and her family but her spirit cried out for more. One day, the eagle looked to the skies above and noticed a group of mighty eagles soaring in the sky. The eagle looked up and said, “What kind of animal is that? How graceful, powerful, and free it is.”
Then she asked another chicken, “What is that?”. The chicken replied, “Oh that is an eagle but don’t worry yourself about that. You will never be able to fly like that.” “Oh,” the eagle cried, “I wish I could soar like those birds.”
The chickens roared with laughter, “You cannot soar. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.” The eagle continued staring at the eagles up above, dreaming that she could be like them.Then the eagle went back to scratching the ground looking for grubs and worms to fit in with the other chickens. She continued to behave like the chicken she thought she was. Days went by and, the eagle stopped dreaming about becoming an eagle and continued to live her life as a chicken.
Finally, after a long life living as a chicken, the eagle passed away. She never knew the grand life that she could have had.
You become what you believe you are, so aim high and be all that you can be. Dream to become an eagle and follow those dreams. Don’t listen to people like the chickens.
Now here is a sneak peek of the Today’s Goals page to spark that excitement! Note that this is the page that you will use most frequently and will be instrumental in your behavioural change.
Today’s Thermals
So you may have spotted on the Today’s Goals page, a box entitled ‘Today’s Thermal’. Each ‘Today’s Thermal’ offers a tip or small action to take your behavioural change even further. Note that when warm air rises, a thermal is formed, which carries the eagle effortlessly high. So this is what your Today’s Thermal does for you, carries you effortlessly high.
