Purposedifferent | Plans often contain assumptions that were never openly stated and remain dangerous precisely because of that. Assumption Surfacing makes these silent premises visible and prioritizes which of them carry the initiative or could sink it. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | With many open commitments and ideas in daily life, a reliable external storage system emerges. The method relieves the mind so priority and context don't have to compete in memory. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. |
