Episode notes
Manage Your Waiting-For List
- Separate your waiting-for list into parts that need immediate attention and those for regular review.
- Use soft due dates to track when to follow up, avoiding constant re-evaluation of all items.
Use Soft Due Dates Effectively
- Use soft due dates on your waiting-for items to let them surface when needed.
- Sort your waiting-for list by date to highlight urgent follow-ups efficiently.
Delegate Outcomes, Not Actions
- Delegate outcomes, not next actions, to empower team members.
- Avoid treating delegates as secretaries by focusing on desired results instead of granular tasks.
