ADVICE

Clarify Your Tasks

  • When clarifying tasks, ask yourself two key questions: "What is it?" and "Is it actionable?".
  • Pause and reflect on the actionability, especially if you tend to overcommit.
ADVICE

Avoid Overcommitting

  • Saying "yes" to everything leads to overcommitment and feeling bad.
  • Ask yourself, "Seriously, am I going to do this?" before committing.
INSIGHT

Non-Actionable Items

  • Non-actionable items fall into three categories: trash, archive, or incubate.
  • The "someday/maybe" list allows you to park ideas for later consideration.
