The method

Choose the problem before optimizing

Doing the wrong task twice as fast may not advance the goal.

When to use it

  • A busy team produces weak outcomes or keeps adding tools.

Ask yourself

  • We are busy every day. Why is progress weak?

Put it into action

  • Remove low-value work, choose a few deliverable priorities, and reserve time for thought and recovery.

Keep these limits in mind

  • Personal time routines do not suit every role. Efficiency should not undermine rest or social support.
