“There’s only two problems in life. Either you don’t know where you’re going or you don’t know the next step.” -Tim Stringer, paraphrasing David Allen

Tim recommended Tony Schwartz's book Be Excellent At Anything*

Step 1 – Reflection

  • Tim recommends journaling to separate the noise from what’s most important
  • The Day One app* is an excellent resource for this

Step 2 – Accepting life as is

Step 3 – Focus on one thing

  • A positive shift in one area of life will influence many other areas
  • It’s a lot easier to get early wins by starting with one area first

Step 4 – Inspired action

  • Work on a specific action for a 90-day period
  • Think a strategize about your action like it’s already occurred

Strategies

  • Name projects the define the objective
  • Due dates only when things are actually due

Resources
