James Laughlin breaks down a three-part framework called PPP: Purpose sits at the top, shapes your 1-3 Priorities, which then shape daily Productivity. The idea is to stop being busy and focus effort on what actually matters.
Purpose, Priorities, Productivity
Are you struggling with anxiety or feeling overwhelmed or busy being busy? Well, look, I've got one thing for you that's going to really help and that is a very simple tool called ppp. Right. Purpose should be shaping your priorities and your priorities shape your productivity. Too many people get busy being busy and doing all the things and having a to do list. But I think of that in a triangle. Purpose at the top. Why am I doing what I'm doing? That informs your priorities, your one, two or three things that are actually important, not your to do list. And then that priority list really informs your productivity where you spend your time. If you haven't done it already, please write that out. Create a triangle purpose at the top, priorities to the bottom right and productivity at the bottom left and ask yourself, could I use this tool to help myself become less busy being busy.
