for the one whose weekly review keeps turning into a twenty-item wish list
Goal
End each week by confirming the single priority for next week and clearing the rest off the table.
Source principle
Priority, not priorities: pick one lead domino; a list of equal "priorities" is a wish list in disguise. : from The One Thing by Gary Keller.
The plan
- ๐FriScore whether last week's One Thing actually got done. Yes/no.
- ๐FriList everything competing for next week. Brain-dump it all.
- ๐ฏFriAsk the Focusing Question over that list. Out loud.
- โญSatCircle the single priority. Just one. Not two.
- ๐๏ธSatWrite the priority on a sticky note. One line.
- โฐSatSchedule the 4-hour block for it. Real slot on the calendar.
- ๐๏ธSunFile the rest in a 'later' drawer. Close the drawer.
- ๐SunRead the priority aloud. Close the review.
