Purposedifferent | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | For a deviation after a change, the method isolates the influence of the altered condition. It narrows down which differences are relevant and which are just accompanying noise. | With a restless workday full of too many open items, the method creates radical simplicity. It directs attention to a short sequence instead of a broad, still-open field. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. |
