Investment-Reward Matrix Framework
- Carey Nieuwhof introduces an Investment-Reward Matrix with investment (time) vs reward axes.
- Every task fits into four zones that reveal where your time actually goes.
Clutter Slowly Erodes Momentum
- The clutter zone is low investment and low reward and quietly multiplies in your calendar.
- Small, habitual tasks collectively throttle progress by leaking time and attention.
Maximize Low-Effort, High-Impact Wins
- Maximize dream-zone activities that need little upkeep but yield outsized impact.
- Delegate routine tasks and automate systems so dividends keep coming with minimal input.
