Lennon Bone explains why laying out all your creative plans at once backfires. He uses The One Thing's core idea: find the single action that makes everything else easier or unnecessary.
My typical planning routine looks like this lay it all out there, get everything out in the open. And then I don't look at that again because it's freaking overwhelming as I'll get out. I'm actually a pretty good planner, but I'm not good at planning for the execution. So how am I going to take this plan and then turn it into bite sized executionable steps? I read a great book last year called the One Thing. I'm going to paraphrase the question, but he asks what is the one thing that if I I do this will make everything else easier or obsolete? One thing I'm trying to do, pun intended, is figure out what that one thing is so that I can move toward my goal and not be so task oriented.
