Use Consistency Containers for your Web 3.0 Efficiency


Use Consistency Containers for your Web 3.0 Efficiency

by Gavriel Shaw

I've been slacking. And realised what my problem is.

I didn't have super efficient access to my 'consistency containers'.

Once you understand this concept, you'll be able to use everything else I've given you via this site and reach yet another higher level of efficiency, personal organization, productivity, self-clarity, yada yada you get the picture, let's dig right into this now:

Consistency Containers

Consistency – the disciplined practice of persistent action

Containers – places to keep stuff

Consistency Containers as such as places that you keep stuff to help you remain persistent and disciplined.

Obviously we're talking about stuff that help you accomplish what you want to accomplish. Organized Living, productivity, yada yada yada.

And what about Web 3.0 Efficiency?

Well, you can visit web 3.0 to find out more on that. Essentially web 3.0 is the evolution beginning to happen on the Internet where you get to choose the exact contact that shows up on your screen when you're at your computer, and browsing the internet.

Of course, efficiency suggests the combined best of all worlds. Organization, time management, productivity, clarity, etc.

So I've been slacking whilst my time and attention has been on a few set large projects that I've been cranking out. So I've lost a little discipline on the bigger picture of my life, projects, etc.

That's ok, life goes in cycles. We're not robots. I'm happy with what I'm spending my time on. It's just that it's time again to revamp, rejig, and generally bring together my overall life management and personal organization systems again.

So here's what I'm playing with right now.

My main consistency containers for web 3.0 efficiency

Mind-maps
Folderarchy
Bookmarking
Email
Bookcase
Mind-Mapping

(still grateful to my dad for introducing me to this concept before there was computer software for it when I was 11 years old)

I use mind-mapping software and have several hundred mind-maps all stored on my computer, which I use daily to organize my projects and tasks that I do on computer, and where I store my big visions for my lifestyle and future dreams.

It works well for me. You can check out a free service online that I like called http://mindomo.com/ which allows you to make 7 priate mind-maps in your free account. You can upgrade if you like it, or contact me if you're interested in buying software and I'll tell you what I'm using at that time.

Mind-Mapping is not just about 'brain storming', it's about organizing your ideas.

Folderarchy

I assume that you use Folderarchy given that you're reading this article at my site. If not, find out right now how to organize your life using a simple system I discovered years ago that does away with complicated personal productivity software and allows a life-long growing way to store, find, organize, etc all your data, information, interests, responsibilities, etc, needing no new software whatsoever.

Bookmarking

Visit my page on personal productivity with bookmarking to find out about how I use this fantastic tool that does away with normal 'favorites' in your internet browser to allow you awesome control and management of websites that you like to use.

Email

I recommend Gmail. I really really recommend Gmail. It allows tagging, great search function, etc.

Bookcase

This one is not on the computer. It's my bookcase in my room that holds the books I want at hand at present. It's another important consistency container for my efficiency as I read a lot and want these books at easy reach.

Now comes practicing the art of Efficiency

I have the list of these 5 consistency containers on the main mind-map I open up to plan my day. My central mind-map is called 'My Matrix'.

It's important enough to me that it's easy to open it up at one click of a button on my computer. Basic habit.

And that one activity puts infront of my face a list of my consistency containers, along with other project management parts on my mind-map.

So as soon as I see that list of consistency containers I am immediately aware and mindful of them. I can then use that mindfulness to help decide what to do.

Does that make sense? It's both so simple and so powerful, just as things should be.

So using that list of 5 main places I store ideas or things at that I want to act on regularly, I can visit my bookmarking page, check my emails, browse my Folderarchy, use my mind-maps, and pull a book of my bookcase.

Use the idea of having 'consistency containers' in your own personal productivity time management system and I guarantee it will pay off in spades.

If you feel overwhelmed by how much you have got to do, or do not feel in control, then a major cause will be because you do not have well established consistency containers.

Perhaps you'll add an 'in basket' to your list of consistency containers. Just make sure you have a functional few places that you actively store stuff you want to access on a regular basis, make the list, put the list somewhere prominant so that you refer to it regularly, and you'll easily lower overwhelm and increase efficiency.
