What we're talking about: Practical strategies for managing time and balancing priorities in a busy life, focusing on two key frameworks: one is to articulate, communicate, and defend your priorities; the other is to turn intentions into plans and routines.

Why it matters: The ability to effectively manage time and establish clear priorities is crucial to achieving agency. It allows individuals to align their actions with their values, live their desired life, and reduce feelings of overwhelm or dissatisfaction.

What actions to take:

📝 Identify the 'minimum effective dose' for each of your responsibilities or tasks. This means the least amount of effort or time required to meet the demand or complete the task effectively.

🗓️ Use a calendar to plan your activities based on the identified 'minimum effective dose', ensuring each activity has a set time and is part of a routine.

🎯 Practice 'this or that' decision-making based on your stack-ranked priorities. Be prepared to face the repercussions of enforcing your priorities when they don't match others'.
