Single-system:
- Life’s multiple domains that each have priorities
- Work/home/hobby
- What is the desired level of system compartmentalization (security, workflow, shared)
- Using multiple systems feels like two lives
- Layered calendars facilitate a unified view
- Two task-lists and deliverables present daily friction
- Double-listing of tasks at weekly review (extra work vs friction)
Practical system:
- Weekly planning, and daily stock-taking
- Weekly calendar planning and clean borders
- Collaborating with others
- Set clear rules and stick to them to provide a reliable and trusted structure
- Take care of the basic role to qualify to say “no”
- Make exceptions only after making it clear how it is disrupting the system
Intended Results:
- Mind like water status of just in time action
- Stress reduction while achieving high productivity
- Live in the “important + non-urgent” quadrant
- Exercise assertiveness and get rid of the self-expending and compromised helpful nice-guy syndrome
- Be intentional about new projects and how they fit in the grand plan
