Statistics show that if you dont capture important information within 24 hours you have only a 5% chance of accurately recalling it in the future.
Lost information costs you both time and money as well as an opportunity.
At any moment in your life important information happens. If you dont capture it then your chances of recalling it in the future is slim. What if you had a very simple system for catching the information within seconds, while it happens. What if your system was also a planning system that automatically generated your plan for you?
Equally challenging in our world today is information-overload. Communication between individuals and in any organization is always challenging and today it is compounded by an endless array of distraction. Distractions in the form of email, voice mail, phone calls, text messages, sms, im, voip, etc can pull us away from focus on our important initiatives. Individuals and organizations need a common method for maintaining focus and continuity with their top-level initiatives. As technology is also not reliable Dsheet offers convenient and redundant method which is better and cheaper than anything else on the market today?

11/28/2015

DSheet is a daily planning system based on a newly developed concept called the Science-of-Action (SoA). SoA was developed to help overcome a few of the social challenges facing us today and brought about by the Information Age which distract us from our main goals and initiatives causing us to be less effective. One main challenge SoA deals with is in limiting the amount of distraction from our top level initiatives by enabling better attention and focus on what we want to achieve in our personal or professional lives. Distractions, in the form of email, SMS messages, instant messaging, Internet, phone calls, as well as many other things, all contribute to information overload and may result in less focus on our initiatives pulling us away from the important things in our lives. They can however be limited with a better understanding of the SoA. The principles of SoA are: 25

Simple and ReliableDevelop a system thats both simple and reliableAs technology often isn't reliable having a daily planning sheet, something to record your thoughts on, offers a simple and reliable method toward managing your important information.
11/28/2015
32
To become effective this sheet should be with you at all times and quickly accessed when an importantthought occurs. SoA principles have been incorporated into the DSheet software application available exclusively from this Web site. 32
Decision: The right momentTimingIs it too early to execute on the action?
Clear MotivationIs your motivation for executing the action clear?
TrustDoes it feel right? 11/28/2015

These are the ingredients required for a good decision. Each time you find yourself making a decision ask yourself these 3 things. If youve captured relevant important information within your system review it if you need to before making a decision.33
Method to the madnessEach moment provides a potential opportunity within it. Be ready to capture Whats Important.
Develop excellent organizational skills. Develop a system that lets you always be ready, prepared, informed, on the ball.
Execute good decisions using that which youve captured.11/28/2015

Three main components of Dsheet are the Vernacular, the List Generator and the Dsheet.
Vernacular Planned for B2B in version - With it all know and have a common organization for planning, have clearer picture of the mission/vision, all goals, main objectives, strategies, tactics down to every task that needs to be completed. All can see how big picture relates to the given task from top to bottom.
The List Generator users very quickly enter their important information using Dsheet QAVs or verbs they define. To increase effectiveness, the use of the QAVs automatically group like information together allowing the user to quickly call up the information when needed and execute, improve or close the action. There is only one common interface and all functionality of Dsheet is generated from one field, the Action field. Simply by quickly classifying your information as you capture it, you can immediately group the information for future use. Any of your lists can be generated on-the-fly then sent to wherever you want it, when you need it to your email, your phone, your printed sheet.
And Key to Dsheet is the sheet. It is the guaranteed medium for transition from the mind to your permanent record when your PC or phone isnt convenient to capture the information. While anyone could simply carry around a piece of paper or post it notes that they write on, the paper alone is not an automatically generated plan composed of all your important information within lists organized so that you know whats important and whats next in the next several days. With Dsheet you always have a plan, youre always prepared you have a strategy for executing on your important information.
