John Assaraf walks through a prioritization system: label tasks 1, 2, or 3 by importance, condense across lists to find your top 3-5 for today, then pick up to five for the week. The goal is training your brain to solve problems instead of just holding onto goals.
The three, four, five or six things that you have to do, Ask yourself this question. What is the number one thing that I need to do on this list today? Put a one next to it. What's the number two thing today? What's the number three thing that I need to do today on that list? Now I'm going to have 1, 2 and 3 in each list. I'm probably going to have 20 different things. Still too many. Now I'm going to look at the entire list and I'm going to say, okay, which three things on the entire list have to be done today or five things maximum. And if I now have generalized and organized and now I'm going to prioritize into five things that need to be done today? I can get three to five things done today that are high impact activities. And then I could say which five things need to be done this week? Forget about next week, the week after, and the week after that. For now, we want to get the brain to use its own genius to help us accomplish goals, not just have goals or things.
