Tim Stringer: Holistic Productivity
“There’s only two problems in life. Either you don’t know where you’re going or you don’t know the next step.” -Tim Stringer, paraphrasing David Allen
Tim recommended Tony Schwartz's book Be Excellent At Anything*
Step 1 - Reflection
Tim recommends journaling to separate the noise from what’s most important
The Day One app* is an excellent resource for this
Step 2 - Accepting life as is
Step 3 - Focus on one thing
A positive shift in one area of life will influence many other areas
It’s a lot easier to get early wins by starting with one area first
Step 4 - Inspired action
Work on a specific action for a 90-day period
Think a strategize about your action like it’s already occurred
Strategies
Name projects the define the objective
Due dates only when things are actually due
