How to Choose Among the Three “Linenberger” Systems

Over the twelve years that I’ve been creating productivity systems, I’ve released and expanded three main systems, in this order:

MYN (Master Your Now)— an advanced task or to-do list management system.1MTD (The One Minute To-Do List) —a starter task or to-do list management system that works with MYN.Outlook Inbox Ninja—an Outlook email Inbox management system that can be combined with the two above.

Are Any of these Systems for You?

If you are new to my newsletters, you may not fully understand
what these are and how they are different. You may wonder which, if any of
them, you should use. I’d like to answer that here.

First of all, my target audience for all three systems is
this: the overworked, overwhelmed, or over-extended office worker or
manager. If that sounds like you, then one of these will work for you. In these
systems, I am helping people who have too many tasks and/or too many
communications, including an overloaded email Inbox.

But Which of the Three Should You Use?

I tell
most people to start with 1MTD (The One Minute To-Do List).

It’s a simple to-do list system that you can learn and implement very quickly. If you have fewer than 100 open to-dos, then 1MTD will work for you. It uses an intuitive “urgency zone” approach to prioritize your tasks and to help you focus. It’s a good way to start on any of the three systems and you can grow from there.

To learn 1MTD you have several choices:

If you like to read, my One Minute To-Do List
book will get you going in just a few minutes. Get a free PDF download here
or buy a paper or Kindle copy at a bookstore.Or use my 1MTD Outlook Video Course
to guide you through how to implement 1MTD using the desktop Windows Outlook
tasks system. Quick and powerful course.My 1MTD To-Do Video Course
shows the same using Microsoft’s new and simple To Do App. With this you are
using Microsoft’s latest technology.Or you can combine the second item above (1MTD
Outlook videos) with Inbox
Ninja (more on that below)

Next, MYN
(Master Your Now)

MYN is a more advanced to-do or tasks system that starts
with the 1MTD urgency zones and then adds many more tools, including the
ability to schedule task’s visibility. With MYN you can manage an unlimited
number of to-dos.

To learn MYN you have several choices:

If you like to read, my book: Total Workday
Control Using Microsoft Outlook teaches you MYN in a very through
manner.My MYN-Outlook
Complete Video Training takes you step by step through the Windows Outlook
solutions with very clear video presentations.If you don’t use Windows Outlook, my Full-MYN Toodledo
Video Training teaches MYN in the powerful to-do app called Toodledo that
you can use on any device.Or you can combine the second item above (MYN
Outlook videos) with Inbox
Ninja (more on that below)

Next, Outlook
Inbox Ninja

Outlook Inbox Ninja is an advanced email management system
that teaches you how to near-empty your Outlook Inbox each day using powerful
tools and techniques in Windows desktop Outlook. If you feel overwhelmed by an
overloaded inbox, then by using this system you’ll get full control of your
Inbox each day and not drop any actions in that mail.

To learn Inbox Ninja you have several packages all
described at
this link:

The basic Outlook Inbox Ninja Video Course, with
no combined task system. It contains videos showing tons of tools to control
your mail.The Outlook Inbox Ninja Video Course combined
with Outlook 1MTD videos; the two complement each other quite well and you can
save some money getting them together.The Outlook Inbox Ninja Video Course combined with
the Outlook MYN videos. I call this Super Ninja and it is really is the
ultimate combination. The two are logically coordinated and you save some money
getting them together.

Again, see all three of these described at
this link.
