Before starting a big task or project, figure out what you want

Answer 1 of 5 questions: Why do you do this project?

Answer question 4 of 5: What is the main goal of the project?

Weekly and monthly reviews are a good time to plan

What is important and worth thinking about is worth measuring

Measurements focus on trends, patterns and aggregates

Combine daily judgments with trends over the past month to help understand behavior

Think and act at the same time, trial and error under controllable conditions

Understand the true allocation of your time through time logs

When the log cannot reflect your goal, make a schedule adjustment

80% of the work is done 20% of the time

Eliminate 80% of work with low impact and low value and focus on implementing 20%

Stop doing unimportant things

If the impact of a task is limited to 1 month, it’s not worth planning for the bigger picture.

Make the project a test version and get feedback quickly

The important thing is to get things done

Foxes know many things, but hedgehogs know one big thing

Focus on and master a central area

Improving productivity is more important than working hard

Creative shortcuts, improving skills or re-examining problems can save a lot of work

Assign a cash value to current tasks to evaluate your own efficiency allocation

Consciously reduce or eliminate goals in your weekly routine through efficiency allocation

Ask yourself “What is the reason for increased productivity?”
