How to use the Alastair Method for Planning

—————-

List Your Tasks: list all the tasks you need to accomplish for the week without assigning them to specific days.

Assign Tasks to Days: Instead of scheduling each task on a specific day, you’ll use symbols or dots to assign tasks to days. Next to each task, place a dot (or another symbol) in the column for the day(s) you plan to work on or complete the task. This allows you to see at a glance which days you’ve planned to tackle each task.

Track Task Progress: You can add symbols to indicate progress as you work on tasks. For example, a half-filled dot could mean “in progress,” and a filled dot could mean “completed.” If a task doesn’t get done, you can easily see which ones need to be migrated to the next week.

Flexible Adjustments: The beauty of the Alastair Method lies in its flexibility. If plans change, you can easily adjust by adding dots to different days without having to rewrite tasks or clutter your planner with crossed-out notes.

This method helps streamline your planning process, offering a clear overview of your week while maintaining the flexibility to adapt as plans change. It’s particularly beneficial for those needing a visual representation of their week’s workload without committing tasks to specific timeslots, making it easier to balance and redistribute tasks.
