You should focus your efforts on doing.
Planning should only be 5% of your time.
Here, I share 3 features that allow that.
Feature 1: Visual
You need to see your workload quickly.
At a glance, you should be able to know what’s on your plate.
You need that big picture to focus your energy on what matters.
You need to feel safe and sound, knowing you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to do based on your priorities in life.
Feature 2: Fast
You need a system that works at the pace of your brain.
A system with no obstacles. A system that lets your flow going.
You need to be able to move things fast up and down, from here to there.
You cannot dedicate time to organizing because that’s procrastination in disguise.
You tell yourself you’re doing important things because planning equals “strategy”, which sounds good.
It’s false.
Feature 3: Flexible
You need to change your planning quickly because planning is just what you thought the day before, not your current situation.
Today your life changes from moment to moment.
Your system should react naturally to new things in a matter of seconds.
Re-scheduling shouldn’t be torture.
Takeaways
- Fight hard for a workflow that brings those 3 features to your life.
- Look for apps that make that possible, that promote that.
- If you achieve it, your life will change.
