Foo for Bar: Kicking Ass with Outcome-Based Thinking | 43 Folders
When asked to distill everything down to [GTD’s] most powerful concepts, I came up with three, and here’s how I’d summarize each:
- Outcome-Based Thinking. Articulating in the most specific terms possible what a successful outcome looks like for any given use of your time. Or as I like to put it, “How will I know when I’m done with this?”
- The Next Action. Knowing that you don’t need to track everything you could conceivably do about a Project; you just need to know the next physical action that would get you closer to completion.
- The Review. Accepting that the heart of the Trusted System that lets you move through a day with a high tolerance for ambiguity is the knowledge that eventually everything you’re doing gets looked at once a week without fail.
